Since 2014 I have run a non-exit relay at my premises. However ultimo July the system load increased abruptly. Idle-cpu -typically 60-70% - dropped to 30%, _and_ with frequent drops to 0!
I reduced the max bandwidth to 1.2 Mbytes. That reduces the load somewhat but still with frequent spikes where the idle-cpu hits 0 and I get the "relay too slow" indication.
Any suggestions?
