I've had ~5 mbps download speeds for the last 5 years in a rural US location. I set up devpi on an old Raspberry Pi hoping to have this same experience, but after several months I disabled it and found it was actually slowing things down. If memory serve, the issue was that the local package lookups were excruciatingly slow (even if done in localhost), and I was surprised to see that devpi would routinely soak up multiple GB of memory and start swapping (I recall a few issues on memory leaks in their repo).

Seemed like a great idea, and perhaps I just needed something beefier than an RPi 3, but it didn't work out for me.
