No server can match the speed of a Cisco, and no Cisco can match the speed of a cheap unmanaged switch. If you mean that ftp client and ftp server are connected to different NICs on the router in both cases (30Mbit and 100Mbit transfers), it is explainable, because traffic from DMZ to LAN usually gets a closer look than that from LAN to LAN. You might or might not get better performance with FreeBSD as the router.
