only a few megabytes in size :-|

However, if it turns out that using hugepages in Linux would help larger 
Tor installations (and superpages can be recommended for *BSD systems[0]
as well), maybe this can be documented somehwere under doc/ or in the 
wiki. But let's see how Olaf's experiment turns out.

The fastest Tor node out there, kudos!

 the ratio of real bandwidth divided by
 advertised bandwidth has increased within the last three month by a
 factor of three. The MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 2000 KB config parameter
 leads to 135 MBit/s real bandwidth. Well known TNS sites like
 http://torstatus.kgprog.com sorted by bandwidth lists only two exit
 nodes within the top twenty.

Hm, we do not seem to monitor exit nodes over time (or do we?).
Looking at the tor.eff.org frontpage however there's an ad suggesting
that we were at 1755 exit nodes at one point. The current TNS sites
count only 584 exit nodes, a factor of three indeed :-\

Might this just be caused by some Tor code change leading to the TNS sites 
being unable to reliably determine if it's an exit node or not?

Thanks for the link!

 Also, we moved from tor.eff.org to torproject.org several years ago. :)

Yeah, I know. But the old URL is so much shorter! :-)
