Load Balancing VPN Gateways

[seware]

I have setup my opnsense box on 18.7 with multiple OpenVPN connections. I have a gateway group setup as load-balancing with these two gateways only.

If I have both of the opnvpn clients up at the same time, the speed (using speed test for instance or just trying to access an internal web page) is incredibly painfully slow.  stopping either one of the openvpn clients restores full speed. restart it and immediate slowness.

Has anyone experienced this?

I am going to try testing with two different vpn services later to see if it could be service related, but I doubt it since I had it working like this in another routing setup recently.
