Does this help already?

I tried KVM and OpenVZ some years ago for high bandwidth relays, and
couldn't get it to make decent throughput at all. I now run all our fast
relays "on bare metal".

Unless you max out /all/ your CPU cores, you can and should simply spin
up more Tor processes in parallel, one per CPU core, and limit their
bandwidth so they never hit 100% CPU usage.
