[tor-relays] How to fully utilize resources for relay?

[Steve Snyder]

I built the Tor binary myself, statically-linked against builds of the 
latest library versions: openssl, libevent, and zlib.  I'm also using 
the OpenBSD malloc that comes with the Tor tarball.

BTW, the openssl performance is twice that of the old version that comes 
with CentOS v5.x!

I doesn't seem likely that rebuilding the kernel will yield much 
benefit, and I don't see that Tor relies much on external libraries.

Thanks for the response.
