it depends :-) I supposed cpu encryption speed being the limiting factor for the majority of the top 20 nodes: http://trunk.torstatus.kgprog.com/index.php?SR=Bandwidth&SO=Desc With aes-128 and 16 byte blocks my node would be limited to 42 MBit/s even if all cpu time would be spend within aes crypto, which isn't very realistic.
