I currently use a non-AES-NI 2-CPU 12-total-cores system running OpenBSD 
5.6-stable.  For 6 relays on the box (3 IP addresses) I see combined 
throughput averaging 3.7 to 4.5 MB/s over multiple days according to arm.

The fastest of the family:

This particular relay topped out on file descriptors (limit was 8192), so now 
the limit has been increased.

The second fastest of the family:
