Did you check if you are running out of mbufs on this system? (netstat -m)
I had exactly the same symptom on a machine that was getting hammered by
the network traffic. If it is running out of mbufs, increase the number
of mbufs using the sysctl in /boot/loader.conf, reboot and watch the box
to see if this fixed the problem.

Rebooting won't help if you don't fix the source of the problem, which is the
amount of network traffic your box is getting.
