Anecdotal, but I should mention that my exit node's throughput has
increased massively after updating to OpenBSD 5.8. Probably 300+%.
Updating to tor 0.2.7.5 seemed to help a little too.

My Ethernet driver is em(4). This is the one running on a 100 Mbps link
with a budget, low-power Atom board, so it's usually CPU- or
cache-bound.
