Yes, it's better to have faster relays. However, if you are setting up a
relay or exit on a gigabit connection it may take some time before you
see significant utilization of the pipe. By running two Tor instances at
once you can increase the contribution of the Tor network without
sacrificing the speed of either relay. Monitoring and good judgment is
key here, I wouldn't run multiple relays on a slow computer or one with
a slow Internet connection. Watch the logs and just make sure everything
is running well, as always.
