Thanks for testing!

This is not bad, but also not good. I guess it will limit network/Tor
speed to 0,5 MB/s. (I think to remember the RP internal lan port was
internally also connected by USB. So they have to share the 1 MB  if
both directions are used. Let's see if cpu would limit it further.)

Using the RP for a big hidden service will be too slow. This may still
be be okay and useful for many users.
