 Replying to [comment:5 yawning]:

 > It's worth noting that Windows is a poor platform to run a relay on, and
 will remain so until the Tor side bufferevent code (kind of abandoned,
 known to be buggy) is done.  Such issues are orthogonal to this ticket
 though.  AFAIK no one is currently working on improving the state of
 things, and should work be done with WinXP in mind.>

 However, this non-exit relay can easily reach **5 MB/sec or more** on my
 tweaked Windows XP platform. Not bad for the TOR network, isn't it? My
 Ookla test says 24 MB/s download and 10 MB/s upload and my CPU can process
 easily a TOR stream of 5 MB/s.
