In the end of all days tor traffic has to pass thru the exit nodes.
About 50% of all traffic leave tor network thru the top 15 exit nodes
only. If they can't cope with their load all nifty tor ports for
smartphones, dsl routers or whatsoever acting as entry or middle man
will be in vain.

process size is still growing:
anonymizer2:~# hugeadm --pool-list
Size Minimum Current Maximum Default
2097152 100 313 1000 *
It appears memory consumption with the wrapped Linux malloc() is still
larger than than with openbsd-malloc I used before. Hugepages don't
appear to work with openbsd-malloc.
