Comment (by Vort):

 I have made a test using WANem and 3 virtual machines: Windows 7, Windows
 XP and WANem.
 Connection settings was set to 10 Mbit/s and 150 ms delay.
 With this configuration, Win7->WinXP iperf gives out 3.3 Mbit/s (400
 KiB/s).
 This is worse than theoretical limit of 1.19 MiB/s.
 But far more better than 50 KiB/s, which I was obtaining on real
 configuration.

 If I figure out how to set up completely virtual Tor network, I will be
 able to make additional measurements.
 But, most likely, I will get the same 50 KiB/s with it.
