[Privoxy-users] Privoxy on a Raspberry Pi

Hi,

I've just came across [Pi-Hole](https://pi-hole.net/?v=11aedd0e4327) (a
Raspberry Pi image to provide a ready to use DNS server blocking ads
domains) and thought I could do the same kind of thing (and even better)
using Privoxy on my Raspberry Pi.

I installed Privoxy on Raspbian (latest, Debian derived, based on
Jessie) through the repositories (version 3.0.21-7+deb8u1 installed).
Everything is running on a regular Raspberry Pi 1.

When I browse to any page (default configuration, no extra actions /
filter added yet), the CPU usage goes to 100% on the Raspberry Pi, and
it takes a few seconds to actually proxy the page, increasing the load
time from a few milliseconds to some seconds.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with a similar setup and could
give me some input about the performances of the system. Also, is there
anything I could do to make it lighter?

Thanks!
Best,
