Hi Alexander
A Tor daemon running with numCPU2s is better than a single daermon on each core because there is less "overhead".
You can also get a great boost by enabling AES-NI hardware encryption if you don't have it already ...
This is the best docu available afaik:

Hello,
a relay I'm running is currently at about 0.80 load average. It has a dual-core CPU and I have configured "NumCPUs 2". I'm still in the process of finding the bandwidth limit.
Should I keep increasing "RelayBandwidthRate" on the single Tor process, or is it a better idea to start a second process?
(Also, does a second process need its own identity, or can it use the existing one?)
Best regards, Alexander
