i used iperf:
Client connecting to x-dev, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 65.0 KByte (WARNING: requested 64.0 KByte)

all, I tried all combinations, and the numbers are very similar to the
ones i posted.

yes, theys are all in the same floor, fisical distance is a few meters.
i also tried other similar boxes and the freebsd thoughput is very similar,
so i doubt it that switches or hardware is involved.
