Hej,

thanks David!

This helped regarding the memory consumption. It's still up to 6G

I cut the BW nearly in halv but tor is still complaining a lot:

"Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests!"

In between it receives more than 6k ntor_v3 c/s.

CPU and memory as well as bandwidth are not saturated.

So I wonder what'd be the best to do. Let it complain because the 
overload is due to the network conditions or reduce BW further until the 
log messages disappear?

What would be best for the network?

Thanks a lot!

Fran
