You're welcome. (At least once in a while, I guess right. :-)

You're probably using either a DSL/PPPoE connection, or maybe some kind of
PPTP/VPN connection. You might try using somewhat higher MTU numbers (1450,
1490) and use the largest one that does not cause the huge slowdown for best
performance. You can also hunt down a "path MTU traceroute" utility to
determine exactly what the maximum value your network supports.
Note that you can put the MTU setting into the ifconfig line in /etc/rc.conf
for it to stick around after a reboot.
