+# If tor is seriously hogging your CPU, taking away too much cycles from
+# other system resources, then you can renice tor. See nice(1) for a
+# bit more information. Another way to limit the CPU usage of an Onion
+# Router is to set a lower BandwidthRate, as CPU usage is mostly a function
+# of the amount of traffic flowing through your node. Consult the torrc(5)
+# manual page for more information on setting BandwidthRate.
