from http://$firewall/exec.php
netstat -in

check for input/output errors. Could be speed/duplexing problem,
but then again most of the time i see that you max out at
about 16kbytes/sec.

from the same url you can 
ifconfig $nic media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex

that should force said nics to 100full just to see if that might be
part of the problem.
