Did some more tests, this time using a single NIC interface in trunking mode. Strangely enough, the speed is a little faster on HEAD. Perhaps less interrupt processing ? Results in the usual place

You may want to datestamp the version of HEAD you're using in each test (assuming it changes between tests). Among other things, I set net.isr.direct=1 as the default a day or two ago, which will affect a broad range of performance characteristics. There have also been VLAN tagging related performance improvements made in HEAD that aren't present in RELENG_6, avoiding extra memory allocations and frees in storing the tags.
