what are the cpu speeds and operating systems of all devices
in the packet path, what is the make and model of switchs in
use, provide dmesg output of the bsd box, a network diagram
of the setup, etc. etc. etc.

The above test results are not replicatable and thus, worthless.
Useful test results would allow a reader to build an exact
duplicate of your setup, config it identically, and get identical
results.
