vbox ethernet emulation is slow

[Daniel Braniss]

Hi,
So far I can run 8.1-stable just fine, except that it's ethernet link is
slow, so slow that ifconfig is embarrassed :-)
% ifconfig le0
le0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 08:00:27:ea:f1:81
        inet 132.65.94.1 netmask 0xfffff000 broadcast 132.65.95.255
        inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:feea:f181%le0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 
        nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
        media: Ethernet autoselect
        status: active
% iperf ...
[  3] local 132.65.94.1 port 41982 connected with 132.65.16.212 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.1 sec    128 MBytes    107 Mbits/sec

is there any work planned to speed it up?

Thanks,
