eeh? Wanna give Tor 800 MBits/s?

Tor is a cpu hog efficiently using one core only. On my Debian box the
other three cores together serve with less than 10% load having the
NumCpu config file option set to four. As I understood RSA encryption
only is done distributed on multiple cores. On Blutmagie throughput is
limited by cpu load to about 35-40 MBit/s. Bandwidth as well as a couple
of other parameters are monitored by MRTG.

Running Linux replacing the original malloc function with the
OpenBSD_malloc_Linux.c solves a couple of memory issues leading to
crashes. This has been confirmed by the Tor nodes Tonga and Blutmagie.
