This reminded me that I had these tweaks applied (as on all my boxes):
net.core.rmem_max=16777216
net.core.wmem_max=16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=4096 524288 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=4096 524288 16777216
Maybe these are too much for 1GB VMs with 2 instances of Tor each, so now
switched it all back to defaults (which didn't seem to affect Tor speeds) and
it seems better so far.
