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

This is not my experience.

I have used many 1000BASE-T dongles and they work exactly as advertised - capable of transferring at ~950Mbps.

I have also used 2.5GBASE-T dongles and speeds are in the 2Gbps+ range.

WisdPi are even offering dongles with 5GBASE-T support (RTL8157 chipset):
