I have a tor relay running on a raspberry with raspbian 9 and tor version 3.4.8, everything is working fine for more then a year. I noticed that the average download/upload is just 1.5 MB and the peak 3.3 MB
The Bandwidth configuration is the following: BandwidthRate 9 MB BandwidthBurst 10 MB RelayBandwidthRate 9 MB RelayBandwidthBurst 10 MB MaxAdvertisedBandwidth 9 MB
Depending on your location in the world and the speed of your network connection, 20-35% utilisation is pretty normal.
(Tor load balances for throughput and latency.)
It doesn't look the CPU or memory usage are too high. Is this something normal? How can I improve the performance?
If you want your relay to use more bandwidth, stop limiting the bandwidth.
Remove BandwidthRate, BandwidthBurst, and MaxAdvertisedBandwidth from your config, then wait a week or two and see what happens.
Increase the RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst, then wait a week or two and see what happens.
If that doesn't work, try reading the detailed instructions here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/MyRelayIsSlow
