[tor-relays] too many circuit creation requests

[trshck_tor at riseup.net]

Hi,

you are right: after some time, the load is back to normal. Thank you 
all for your help.

The raspberry has a minimum console-only installation and tor is the 
only service I installed, so there aren't any other processes consuming 
resources.

Now to the next step: looking for a better computer to host the relay :)
