based on the cpubenchmarks I found for your CPU I estimate that 300 Mbit/s
are doable with that CPU on a single core.

beware of the incompatibility of Tor with OpenSSL 1.1.1a [1] (used by default on FreeBSD 12.0).

The workaround is easy: recompile with the older openssl version available via ports
