Hello Peter,

in your kernel, try :

options VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE
options DEVICE_POLLING
options HZ=1000

You say that you do not have any firewall,
so why do you use:
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_udp_lifetime=10
net.inet.ip.fw.dyn_buckets=1024

you may add:
kern.polling.enable=1
kern.polling.user_frac=50

best regards,
Mathieu CHATEAU
