From what I have read about the Pi 4, heat is a big issue. If you're not doing something to cool it, your CPU speed is likely being throttled due to overheating. Also, I do not think that Tor will make effective use of the additional cores. I know a lot of folks run relays on Raspberry Pi devices, but I doubt they are great performers. (I run Tor on a number of Pi's, from Zero W's to 3's, but they're location hidden servers so I don't know how well they work as relays.)
