Raspberry Pi w/ 2 Block Erupters getting slow hashrate (~150 MH/s total)

[tlr]

I decided I should move my 2 ASICMiner Block Erupters off my power hungry desktop, where they were getting the advertised 330 MH/s (each), so I followed these instructions from Adafruit to get cgminer running on a RaspberryPi http://learn.adafruit.com/piminer-raspberry-pi-bitcoin-miner but my hashrate is now a horrible a ~150 MH/s

What's wrong? Does anyone else have a similar setup that's actually working properly?

Maybe a bad USB hub? I'm thinking about trying one of the Anker 10 ports, but it seems overkill for 2 Block Erupters.

Raspberry Pi too slow to keep up?

Just needs some tweaking?

Thanks.

Are you using cgminer 3.1.1?
Where are you reading your hashrate from? LCD screen via api or straight from the pool?

I also think the problem is with the HUB and/or power supply of the HUB. There are reports of 10 USB Block Erupters controlled by a RPI, working with no problems. There are also reports of problems with USB 3.0  HUB's.

I'm using a RPI 256 MBytes, with MinePeon, hashing @ 336 MH/s each, for 1 month, with no problems. I'm using a 7 ports HUB 2.0 bought @ China, but with a power supply with 5V/3Amp. The original power supply included with the HUB was only 1Amp.

I'm using cgminer 3.3.0. I tried compiling 3.1.1 but it wasn't working for some reason. I'll try again.

I'm using the same hub suggested in the PiMiner Adafruit tutorial (Manhattan something or other).

I tried plugging it in my desktop and it ran just fine, but perhaps the desktop USB port is providing additional power?

EDIT: I got 3.1.1 running, and it appears to be working correctly (660 MH/s total). Not sure what's wrong with 3.3.0.

cgminer version is the problem

Yup, 3.1.1 works fine. Thanks.
