Thank you,

I've tried:

DirPort 0
HidServDirectoryV2 0
RelayBandwidthRate 300 KB
RelayBandwidthBurst 600 KB

and restarted.

Now it still has 100% CPU and about 3500-4000 inbound connections. The 
log is full of the same warning.

Buying some equipment is a possibility. I prefer miniature computers 
because of their low consumption. What would you recommend?
