  What exactly is slow?  Time to open the connection?  Or rate of data
transfer once the connection is open?

  The most issue around PPPoE is that the fact that PPPoE connections use
a MTU of 1492, and FreeBSD uses MTU patch detection which is dependent on
being able to get ICMP responses back from the the PPPoE gateway.
