Virtualizated NIC's are slow, regardless of hypervisor, although some are
better than others.  Hi performance in something like XEN/KVM/Virtualbox
requires pci-pass-thru, but I don't think FreeBSD supports this yet.  You
can use /usr/ports/emulators/virtio-kmod which will help a little.
Otherwise use a jail.
