How long has the relay been up?
What's the fingerprint of your Exit relay?
Where is it located?

Have you read:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay

Does your processor have AES-NI? Is it reasonably fast?
Does Tor have enough sockets available?
Does it warn you about any other potential performance issues in its logs?

Have you tried running 2 Tor instances per IPv4 address?

Also, have you tried searching the mailing list archives?
This question gets asked and answered at least once a month.
