Keep in mind the handshake stats increase
forever and include circuits that are long
gone.  If however you are quoting

  netstat -nt | wc -l

3000+ would be insanely large for relay
rated around 100.  Let the list know if
that's the case as it would be some kind
of bug or attack.  Make sure the connections
are to the relay daemon and not some other
process.  'lsof -Pn' is good for that.

I've never run one, but corresponded with an
exit operator who has a Beagle Board
Black on a Comcast connection.

He expressed great satisfaction with it and quoted
its merits vs the Pi at length.  They have a newer
X15 version of the board now due out next month:

Good luck with it!
