I think you gonna win, sir.
Sorry. Feel your pain.

This old mare she ain't what she used to be
You won, sir.
Sorry to hear that. 😧
Been there several times. The slowdown is the Pi crunching the blocks. Download speed really doesn’t matter that much as compared to the power of the hardware.
An entire class of hardware has been obsoleted by the taproot exploit. Barrier to entry is now higher. The network thusly centralizes.
The raspberry pi 4 with 8gb RAM and an external HDD took 27 days to sync the chain. The best estimate will be rewarded promptly.
