I have diff experience, I get around 7500kB/sec max windows to windows using realtek, and freebsd can get the same but uses less cpu in doing so, I put it down to realtek just been poor and the FreeBSD and windows drivers not been great, I have seen both windows and FreeBSD handle higher transfer rates with better quality network cards, if performance is essential for your network then invest in good hardware.
