All USB-to-Ethernet adapters are pretty evil in my experience. Always terrible performance, often slower than WiFi.

In my experience they always held up the 100 Mbit/sec claim for lower-end variants, and an acceptable 350-ish Mbit/sec on USB2-backed GbE devices. I have no experience with GbE USB3 dongles.
