It's probably best to start at the basics and work up:

1) uname -ar on both systems
2) do both systems have identical hardware?

3)what are you coping over, lots of small files, one large file.  i.e.
what kind of benchmark are you using?

that's the best place to start.  it looks like you have a ton of pf
stuff going on, and have made many changes to your kernel via sysctl.
i didn't really look at that stuff closely - that info is kinda
pointless w/o the basic hardware, OS data.
