[tor-relays] boost CPU on a Tor relay

[Harold Naparst]

I'll just throw in my datapoint on this subject because it might be of
interest.   My relay (torpoint) is currently advertising a
bandwidth of 58 MB/s according to Globe.  Arm reports that it is pushing 50
MB/s and has 12,500 open clients.
It has a Xeon E3/1220 with 8 GB ram.  The load average is 0.75, and the
four cores are at about 20-25% each. About 2GB
of ram is being used.

On the whole, this relay is probably bandwidth constrained.  The ISP
guarantees 150 Mbps, but I sometimes get more, like now.
