I realize there could be pros and contras. Among the contras there could be (for example) many small relays overloading the dirauths. I would like to hear more about the contras.

A Pi running at its line speed isn't exactly a small relay.

Additional info about my experiment: I have just fired up an additional relay on Pi Zero. That's a fucking $9 Tor relay, including flash card and case. Looks like an oversized USB stick and plugs directly into a USB port of a computer. No need even for power supply.

Why wouldn't you run the relay directly on the connection/powering computer? Also, is the external USB network interface included in the pricing calculation?
