The number of circuits varies over time based on client load and relay capacity. > If we where to say that a circuit would typically need 128k, one could > estimate the setting for a 5K circuit relay to be ~600MB. On my machines, relays typically use 800 MB, and exits use about 1 GB. But it varies a lot. So it's better to tell Tor how much RAM you have available. Then you can let the network load balancing send the right amount of client circuits your way. For example, I have a relay with 32 GB of RAM. The RAM and CPU usage spike at times, but it's fine :-) T _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
