TOR and Linux -in the real world- on lower end hardware?

[Oren Beck]

The short end of this is a question raised about traveling folks using TOR
from Campgrounds on low end hardware. Seems a non-trivial query too as there
are a growing number of "Full Timers" that live in mobile housing and are
politically desiring to support TOR. The overview of the query comes down to
this- NOT needing a "Read the FAQ" storm folks- does anyone here have real
hands on experience with TOR at all? Then the next element is running TOR on
lower end Linux boxes -under 1 ghz P4's under 1gig ram at all? And if TOR
will  not be a performance impact on that class of systems- what then of
running on Wifi chains of 3 links average?

Example of RV park network typical chain being- DSL>Firewall Router>1st air
hop>USB "dongle">linux box as BEST case with often several additional
"Repeaters" My stepdaughter reports seeing an average of 3 AP chains in
typical parks as a real example.

ALL this data to ask the question then if TOR is practical for RV based
travellers to both use and participate in?
