Hi,
I play micros (10 NL equivalent) on an Indian site. The rake is 4.25% and the cap is very high (I almost never hit the cap unless the pot is multiway and huge).

I have been doing decently (winning at around 10-15BB / 100), but I sat down and estimated the amount of rake I paid in the past 40 days. I figure (using rakeback calculations) that I have paid almost as much rake as my entire winnings! I do get some of it back as rakeback and bonuses (I estimate around 25% or so).

But is this kind of thing normal?
