This box should be able to fill a gigabit of regular TCP traffic (1500 MTU) without any problem. Double-check your testing procedures. I have some additional comments/questions though: 1) you probably don't want to run bsd.mp on a firewall, it'll hurt you more than it helps, unless you have significant CPU-bound userland stuff going on, for example antivirus scanning of email. 2) You may get better performance running i386. 3) Besides the the em driver changes you've mentioned, is the source code you're building the kernel clean OPENBSD_4_8 -stable, or something else (4.8-current from after the 4.8 release, for example)
