Run 'vmstat 1' in a different terminal on the RPi while running
stuff, and paste the first dozen lines? (You can just CTRL-C
vmstat after this)

I ran rtl-tcp a while ago on the RPi and it was really pushing
the limits of the IO bandwidth and CPU, but there has been a
lot of optimisation in the RPi stack kernels etc since. Using a
USB network interface would just push the RPi's limited USB IO
even harder.

Reducing the samplerate for rtl-tcp might help a bit if you
aren't looking at a wideband signal.
