Rclone + Plex + Google Drive config for low end system

Help and Support
1

So I'm an Rclone noob, I've just setup a Plex server which uses Google Drive for its library.
This setup is hosted on a Azure cloud Windows VM, the setup has 4GB RAM, an Intel Xeon e5 2673 v4 processor, and a Gigabit connection (very low end system).

So after setting it up I'm finding the streaming speed very slow (about 1-3 mbps). Now I was expecting it to be slow, but not this slow.

Is there anything I can do to increase the speeds?

Rclone mount config:

rclone mount --allow-other --dir-cache-time 72h --drive-chunk-size 64M --log-level INFO --vfs-read-chunk-size 32M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off pd1: G: --vfs-cache-mode writes
