It's got a decent amount of RAM (though you won't be using much of
that in a router), but CPU isn't particularly fast (1300MHz).

pppoe on OpenBSD does not use multiple cores. If the machine is not
running much in the way of userland software it's possible that it
might do slightly better with a single-processor kernel ("boot bsd.sp"
at the boot loader prompt for a one-off test) though probably won't
be hugely better.

One common type of machine used for OpenBSD routers is the PC Engines
APU, which has
cpu0: AMD GX-412TC SOC, 998.17 MHz, 16-30-01, patch 07030105
which is a similar class of cpu, clocked slightly lower. That usually
gets around 500Mbps of pppoe, so I think your machine is doing broadly
about as well as expected.
