Thanks for this. I ran a tcpdump on the iperf3 'server' and not until I had
turned off all offloading completely - in vtnet0 in the vm, bge0 on the bhyve
server, and em0 on the iperf3 target, only then did incorrect checksums
disappear.

The bandwidth as measured with iperf3 seems to have decreased though.
But the effective bandwidth, I'd guess, has gone up because there's no more
reported checksum errors as measured at the target.

I'll next try setting kern.hz to -1
