I will go back and test this again (it's been a while - we just run with
all offloads turned off by default now).  When we were having problems with
this we would find segmented TCP flows getting reassembled along the path
and then output with the local egress MTU (which was considerably larger
than that at the end stations), resulting in performance-crushing IP
fragmentation later in the path.
