I found that my throughput increased dramatically on OS X when I:
* increased kern.maxfiles to 30K in sysctl
* increased kern.maxfilesperproc to 10K in sysctl
* increased kern.ipc.somaxconn to 4K in sysctl
* set HardResourceLimits / NumberOfFiles to 10K in launchd (I think launchd adjusts sysctl here as well)
* compiled an optimised version of the latest OpenSSL with aes-ni support and linked tor against it
