Very high CPU usage and slow speeds with the MIPS version

Hi. I have successfully installed "vhusbdmips" on my router: WNDR4300, with Chaos Calmer 15.05.
VirtualHere works fine, unfortunately I get only ~2.5MB/s transfers from connected USB drives.
I checked with htop, and "vhusbdmips" uses around ~90-100% of CPU when I'm transfering files.
Is there anything I can do to reduce CPU usage and make transfer speeds faster?

You would need to use the CPU optimized version, which will give better performance and possibly lower cpu usage for the same throughput.

Can you do cat /proc/cpuinfo so i can see what the cpu supports

Sure:

Thank you for the replies.
Is it possible to somehow test vhusbdmips74kc before purchasing it?

I dont have a way to do that at the moment, just buy it and if the performance is the same or very close to the generic build ill give you a refund...
