[tor-relays] MaxAdvertisedBandwidth, MaxOnionQueue and so on

Hi,

currently trying to set up a bog standard relay node that's supposed to generate
about 20TB/month of outgoing traffic. I've thus set 

RelayBandwidthRate 7500 KB  
RelayBandwidthBurst 20000 KB

but keep getting tons of these 

Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests! Please
consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more
restricted exit policy.

Questions:

- Is this log message still accurate? I've seen from e.g. ticket 9005 that
  apparently circuit creation is anyway already handled in parallel, and my
  machine is definitely not constantly overloaded on all 8 threads. 

- The node also crashes far too often, i.e. multiple times a week. Annoyingly,
  I can't seem to get core dumps for these crashes even though I've verified
  that the core ulimit is set to unlimited, but still the crashes themselves or a
  kill -SEGV $TORPID do not give me core files. Any ideas? I've also verified that 
  the cwd is /var/lib/tor and that /var/lib/tor is writable :(

- I've also set MaxOnionQueue 250, but that didn't change much. Any other suggestions?

ciao,
