I am surprised as well because my middle relay has quite a low traffic,
at least not as much a I expect.

Advertised Bandwidth: 7.74 MB/s but it should do more

It is quite a small box but always has free memory left:

niehaus at rocket:~$ vmstat
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system--
------cpu-----
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in   cs us sy
id wa st
 0  0 185600  93328   4112  73220    0    1    11    12   61   21  5  4
91  0  0



The highes percentage of CPU use in top I have seen is about 15%, there
is quite a lot idle time left. AES is supported in hardware, network
speed is okay;

Anything I can do to donate more bandwith? Any more information you need?
