Try disabling the autodetection of the link speed on the rl0 card. To do so
either use:

# ifconfig rl0 media 10baseT/UTP

or

# ifconfig rl0 media 100baseTX

depending on the actual speed of the network connected to it (I am guessing
it is 10 Base T). The rl0 driver has a lot of problems detecting the 10 base
T networks, and although you have connectivity and everything appears to be
working fine, the performance are really bad until you explicitely tell it
to use 10 base T.

The "media: autoselect (none) status: active" in ifconfig is a good
indication of that problem.

Good luck,

Patrick.
