You're not running AES-GCM, you're running AES-CBC + HMAC-SHA256

Try running AES-GCM.  Example (from the work that gnn@ and I did back in
2014/15):

https://github.com/freebsd-net/netperf/blob/master/IPSEC/Configs/dut-aes-gc=
m.conf
https://github.com/freebsd-net/netperf/blob/master/IPSEC/Configs/source-aes=
-gcm.conf

Results on larger hardware, if you care:
https://github.com/freebsd-net/netperf/blob/master/Documentation/Presentati=
ons/BSDCan2015.pdf

Once you have that running, see if setting net.inet.ipsec.async_crypto=3D1
helps

Also, if PMTU doesn't work on your path, clamp TCP MSS to 1400 on both
sides.

# ipfw add # tcp-setmss 1400 <blah blah blah>

or

scrub on <interface> max-mss 1400  in your pf.conf

That all said, I only get around 400Mbps using AES-GCM over a real 1gbps
path between my house and work running a C2558 at home.
I'm running pfSense (because... you know...), but you should be able to
achieve similar results with a stock FreeBSD 11.2 system.

If you want to go faster, we've seen 856 mbps over a pair of C3558s, using
just AES-GCM w/AES-NI.  This is with 'pf' on, and KPI mitigations running,
btw.
If anything, i'd expect routed ipsec to be a bit faster.
