FYI: When we tested lagg to a cisco 6509 balancing didnt work at all,
that was with 8.0 release.
Initial investigation seemed to indicated a problem with aggregator
creation.
See the thread: Problems getting lagg to balance using lacp
for more info.

Since your using lagg there Jeff have you done on perf testing at
all, when I tested here dual em0 + lagg + lacp => cisco 6509 although
all seemed to negotiate correctly, balancing wasn't working at all.
So I'm wondering if you see the same behaviour or if its just me?
Balancing depends on src/dst mac/ip. E.g. packets between different
IPs are going thru different interfaces. It seems you are using iperf
to generate traffic flow between IP1 and IP2 so this is wrong case.
I've successfully patched 8.0-REL and it looks very happy with dot1q
vlans on lagg. Here are my results based on regular Internet traffic.
