But since your board has a 100 Mbit interface anyway, it would be better if you just omit the bandwidth limit line entirely. Also, actually hit anything remotely close to 100 Mbit, you'll absolutely have to run two instances of Tor. The Raspberry Pi 3 has 4 CPU cores, but each core on its own is not very fast. One copy of Tor only uses about 1 to 1.3 cores, so to fully utilize your hardware you need more than one. Ideally you'd set up four, but the Tor network will only accept two running from the same IPv4 address. It appears that these days there's a built-in script for that, see "man tor-instance-create". -- With respect, Roman
