I had a disk with 64bit already installed. I will try with 32bit
tomorrow. I can also try FreeBSD AMD64 on the box to see how it does.
ifstat gives a bit of an odd output, but its the same sort of pattern
where adding a second stream in the same direction, slows down the
first one. On the box R2

I added the second stream, going in the same direction at **
On one of the targets running netreceive you can see the impact.

When the packets are bi-directional, the impact is not as great in

The box is totally responsive throughout with no packet loss on the
management interface.... However, it seems quite a bit slower than
FreeBSD when its tweaked with ADAPTIVE_GIANT removed... But again,
this is 64bit so not quite apples to apples yet. Also, I need to
check the default driver config to see if their NAPI or whatever its
called is enabled. More tests to come.
