[tor-relays] Running relay on OpenBSD ulimit problems

[Gijs]

Thanks :)

I actually decided to migrate the box to FreeBSD because Tor was also 
hoggin 100% CPU, and my hope was that the Via Padlock driver in OpenBSD 
would save me clock cycles, unfortunately the OpenBSD version works less 
well, on free my CPU is now around 50% all the time. (running a small 
via c7 1500mhz routerbox and pushing between 10-30mbit of tor on a 
100/100 line)
