Probably due to the test tool you're using. Does the tool serialize the UDP stream (ie: wait for a response for each packet)? In many cases polling will slow down an individual stream slightly, while upping the total throughput (hundreds of streams). In addition if your CPU and bus is fast enough to handle the interrupt rate (well behaved NICs mitigate interrupts) then polling will slow things down in most cases. BTW, this should go on freebsd-net.
