Seconded. We have moved to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for machines with AES-NI
support as it comes with a packaged OpenSSL 1.01. All that remains is
enabling the BIOS option and the kernel module as documented at
https://www.torservers.net/wiki/setup/server#aes-ni_crypto_acceleration

Machines without AES-NI can do ~150 Mbps max per Tor process (and core).
With AES-NI, you can see >200 Mbps. If your pipe is bigger, you need to
run multiple Tor processes and likely tweak some of your kernel settings

ARIN: https://www.arin.net/resources/request/reassignments.html
The relevant template/process is called "IPv4 Reassign-Detailed".

RIPE: I could not find a location that explains how to reassign IP
space, but from what I know ISPs can do it via web interface.
