Have you been able to get more than 85Mbit/s out of a single interface on an ALIX? 85 was the best I could get when playing the tx interrupt mitigation stuff[1] but it had plenty of spare CPU. My guess was it was maxing out the NIC hardware, and that turning off checksum offloading would make it go faster at the cost of more CPU usage although I never tested that.
