The stock tftpd on FreeBSD doesn't support variant block sizes (or much of anything else past RFC 1350). You'll see better performance if you go with something newer.
Spent some time experimenting. tftp-hpa is faster, but setting the maximum block size was required to prevent errors. Unexpectedly, 1024 was fastest in my setup.
The problems can be on the other end, too: System Rescue's tftp client is not great--three minutes for 211M. Clonezilla is much better, at 15 seconds for 101M.
Linux systems with netboot can boot off http (using wget) and it's much better. Twice as fast for the Clonezilla load, but System Rescue went from three minutes to only 18 seconds.
