 How are you viewing the data?

Realtime tcpdump
tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0
or
Viewing pflog
tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog

Anything written to the tty is going to be a bit slower, of course if
you can "jack into your brain" all would be solved.

I think there is one called hatchet. Of course you can't beat good old
fashion grep,awk, and maybe sed
