When using the em driver under FreeBSD, it can be useful to try to
addjust some tuneables in sys/dev/em/if_em.h.  Specifically EM_RDTR and
EM_TADV.

With the hardware in the FreeBSD box I don't think you should expect it
to go that fast, since the bus/CPU will be the bottleneck.

I would suggest looking at vmstat and similar tools. It can be very
useful to find what the bottleneck really is.
