I see that connections are so slow, many people say that the FREEBSD systems are slow, is that true?
No
I'd say it depends. Fragmentation is a speed killer when not addressed. Checksumming can be, too. Switches and cables even.
There are a lot of variables, but as Michael was trying to point out: it's not possible to generalise.

Here is a interesting reading about it:

Another good reference is: https://calomel.org/
Some piece of metal, like some cards from Tilera and others vendors, with a good driver implementation can do a good work.
Intel's DPDK can get the job done, but will require some hard work to put all together and get the heavy dutty work done!

Ok what exactly tilera works with opnsense? I buy it to prove.
I tested with Chelsio T580 cards and received 22Gbit without tuning :)
