Hi Mario,

I'm having same trouble with raspberry pi 3b... I use Wi-Fi connection with 
high throughput. My local connection can copy files up to 15MB/s to this RPi. 
It is a USB adapter (mediatek MT7601). I'm asking myself that speed on tor 
network shouldn't be more than 2 MB/s. I've limited the maximum in 3,2 MB/s and 
burst to 4,3 MB/s, my connection here in Brazil is just of 240 Mb/s // 24 
Mb/s... At least 2,2 MB/s should be reached in the measurements i guess. In the 
past i shouldn't pass from 600 KB/s thus because my CPU consumption with TOR 
was near to 100%. But i've set more parallel threads in torrc and recompilled 
my openssl to support it the linux crypto engine, that can handle faster crypto 
operations. With this i've enabled hardware acceleration on torrc and reached a 
little bit more than 1MB/s in the measurements.
