What processor is on your VPS?
Here is my lscpu output:
root$ lscpu Architecture: i686 CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit Byte Order: Little Endian CPU(s): 8 Vendor ID: GenuineIntel CPU family: 6 Model: 58 Stepping: 9 CPU MHz: 3300.152 BogoMIPS: 6600.30 Virtualization: VT-x
How fast is it?
See above
Does it have AES-NI?
I believe so. Here's the output from:
grep -o aes /proc/cpuinfo aes aes
and here's the output from:
grep -ml -o aes /proc/cpuinfo aes
Is your OpenSSL compiled optimised for your processor and for the encryption that Tor uses?
I am using the OpenSSL that was compiled for my version of Mixmaster as I am running a middle remailer on the same VPS. It is OpenSSL: 1.0.1e
How much RAM does your VPS have?
512KB
Have you read the torservers.net Tor tuning advice? Yes I have made several modifications to my RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst. I have also modified my AccountingMax number. Here's the pertinent information from my torrc file:
RelayBandwidthRate 50 MB # Throttle traffic to 100KB/s (800Kbps) RelayBandwidthBurst 80 MB # But allow bursts up to 200KB/s (1600Kbps) AccountingMax 100 GB
(And similar articles?)
Any additional links would be welcomed.

Does Tor log a message when it starts recommending an optimised version of OpenSSL?

512KB
This is likely to be your issue. 512 MB is not enough for a large relay. Tor will limit its memory and connections to stay under about 3/4 of the memory you have. Try 1GB.
