 Replying to [comment:10 runa]:
 > is that as a bridge or a client? If it's a bridge; do you have any
 numbers for how many clients it can handle and at what rate?

 Both bridge/client, though i've not been actively using the client
 functionality much in the recent weeks. I don't know what it's capable of
 handling but i've just gathered traffic stats over a 24h period while not
 using the client at all. I have a cable connection with the down/up speeds
 of 9Mbps/500Kbps.
 Total In: 24.4 Mb
 Total Out: 20.3 Mb
 Max In: 238 Kb/s
 Max Out: 85 Kb/s
 Distinct clients seen: 31

 This was soon after a restart, so i'll redo it soon.

 As a note for this specific ticket, Tor on my Buffalo uses 75% of RAM,
 which doesn't leave much for tmpfs. No matter how you organize these data
 files, not much can be done without adding extra flash storage unless
 something comes up with a big change in how Tor deals with this data.
