I would not recommend setting up a node on Raspberry Pi anymore. There is something going on which makes initial block download extremely slow on the RPi
The way a guy from Start9 explained it to me was that memory usage increases dramatically at some point as it processes full blocks. And as the Pi starts paging more and more to offload to swap, it gets into paging hell where the throughput of the USB port can't effectively keep up with the traffic being shoveled between swap and memory.
