It really depends on your kernel and networking hardware. > I guess it does not make sense to change the MaxMemInQueues while memory > is only 256MB? You can reduce the number of other processes running, and increase MaxMemInQueues to somewhat less than 256MB - Tor needs other memory, and so does your kernel, and so do other processes. Using swap for Tor may slow things down more. > If in case I cant use the whole 100Mbit/s - what would be the minimum > requirement in memory I would need as the CPU is just working on a 20 > percent level? We typically recommend 512MB, but your experience may vary depending on your exact CPU, distribution, background processes, etc. Tim Tim Wilson-Brown (teor) teor2345 at gmail dot com PGP 968F094B ricochet:ekmygaiu4rzgsk6n
