[tor-relays] Call for discussion: turning funding into more exit relays

[kupo at damnfbi.tk]

Just throwing my 2 cents in, we're running loki 
<http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=088adab38da02bd83286872120f85259d44ded88> 
on a decade old dell pe1950 p3 (32bit) w/ 2GB of ram. We average about 
5.2 Mbps of traffic. That said I'm looking forward to seeing what 
increases a 64 cpu would bring.
