It might be hypervisor's problem because they use KVM, but here are
some information I have:

DO smallest instance.

> uname -a
FreeBSD megashadow2 10.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 10.2-PRERELEASE #3
r284996: Wed Jul  1 17:58:13 UTC 2015
freebsd@megashadow2:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/DOIPSEC  amd64

cryptotest w/wo -p -- 2Gb/s, 400Mb/s, aesni, cryptodev present.

strongswan ipsec.conf:

    ike=aes256-sha1-modp1024!
    esp=aes256-sha1!

NAT done through one simple pf rule.

natstat -inw1 shows no error, no drop, just very small packets (10K-30K) even
for large data.

Top two functions in pmcstat -TS instructions -w1 are kernel
rijndaelEncrypt and sha1_step are the top two consuming function,
10%-20% for each.

TSO, IPSEC_DEBUG do not matter.

Boost performance is same as Ubuntu 15 (300kb/s in ssh, downloading to
my laptop), but most of the time is < 100kb/s, and overall speed is
50% slower.  Uploading is good.
