Haven't tested RELENG_4 performance in a controlled environment and thus can't answer the question directly. However using fastforward on 6 and 7 is key to good performance. Without it you're stuck at some 150-200kpps, perhaps 300kpps. With it you get to 500-800kpps.
To show that pps is mainly related to CPU freq (with high end component):
FreeBSD 6.2, packet size is 64bytes and value L3 Mb/s between the two only CPU change.
