[tor-relays] Optimizing TOR Relay

[Volker Mink]

Its a Pi1,  model B with 512MB RAM.
 
 
RelayBandwidthRate 10000 KB  # Throttle traffic to 1000KB/s (800Kbps)
RelayBandwidthBurst 20000 KB # But allow bursts up to 2000KB/s (1600Kbps)
MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 10000 KB
(anything to change here?)

I have a 60MBit Internet Connection at home with a static IP-Adress.
Downstream about 65MBps, Upstream 5 MBps.

If this is a raspberry pi 2, set in Torrc: "NumCPUs 4"

What is your advertised bandwidth? I can personally say that a RPi2 has
no trouble moving 20Mbps, which would run you a ~50Mbps connection to
get that kind of utilization. If you're talking about a RPi1, you don't
have enough bandwidth dedicated to get the usage you want.
