I've been seeing this for a few months now on -CURRENT. TCP transfers
to local IP addresses (but not 127.0.0.1) are incredibly slow.
Transfer from localhost:

kernel
100% 11MB 11.1MB/s 00:00
Appropriately fast.
Transfer from an IP on a local interface:
# scp "r...@216.14.96.4:/boot/kernel/kernel" .
kernel
0% 16KB 13.0KB/s 14:37 ETA
The routes seem normal:
# route get 127.0.0.1
route to: localhost
destination: localhost
interface: lo0
flags: <UP,HOST,DONE,LOCAL>
recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec mtu weight expire

# route -n get 216.14.96.4

Takes 10-60 minutes to copy, stalling frequently during the transfer.
It's not limited to just scp either, all TCP transfers seem to stall
this way.
I don't believe I'm doing anything unusual, has anyone seen anything
like this?
Known fallout from the ARPv2 work I believe. As a workaround until it
gets fixed:
route add -host (if-ip) -iface lo0 (note I haven't tested this myself)
(see the Jan 2009 freebsd-net@ thread "Bacula: VERY SLOW on SAME host"
for some details).
Anyone know if there is a fix in the offing?
Qing (added to CC) is aware of the problem. Not sure how far off the fix is.
Cheers,
Lawrence
