Hello Likogan (you did not specify a name, so I just took your domain name).
First, lets look at issue number one:
If your Tor Exit is using ~50% of the entire CPU (VM or dedicated server?)
while only routing 6 Mbps, then you are likely not using hardware AES
acceleration (aesni).
For example,
My exit relay has seen steadily decreasing traffic from 8MBps to 6MBps
over the span of three weeks. It averages a load of ~50% CPU usage and
~65% RAM usage. It's rated network capacity is 17Mbps on a 10GB link.
Why would traffic decrease if I have plenty of spare resources? Are
there ways I ca
