So rampup phase wasn't longer than one day. You re-used the old keys? Blutmagie retained its guard status. New TORy0 currently has the same 11000KB/16000KB limits as blutmagie and runs only one TOR instance. After a couple of days, one core uses ~12% CPU on one core for only 1500 TCP connects as an exitnode with ample memory. But it will get serious soon enough. ;) cheers, teun
