I'll just throw in my datapoint on this subject because it might be of interest. My relay (torpoint) is currently advertising a bandwidth of 58 MB/s according to Globe. Arm reports that it is pushing 50 MB/s and has 12,500 open clients. It has a Xeon E3/1220 with 8 GB ram. The load average is 0

Hi, AES-NI is by far the most powerful feature from your list. From my point of view absolutely necessary. If theres no CPU Upgrade reachable for you i suppose you can wait for the tor alpha version to become fully multithread capable. This should be reality in the near future. -BEGIN P
