256MB RAM and unmetered bandwidth is going to get you into trouble
very quickly.  That's not enough RAM.

If you're on a 10Mbps port and set your limits to about 5Mbps
RelayBandwidthRate, you're going to need more than 256MB - probably
more like 768MB and a cron job to restart Tor if it chews up all RAM
and gets itself killed.

(Restarting Tor is something you want to avoid, BTW, but I understand
the cost of RAM resources.)

Best,
