Or, how big are the packets?
Number of connection-setups (new state entries) affects things too. Motherboard chipset (and how it's configured, irq settings and so on) can make a difference. 'has a xeon proc' is only a little more specific than 'has a pentium proc', there have been a lot of chips bearing the name Xeon. The best way is to try it. If it's not quick enough and you've already checked things like net.inet.ip.ifq.maxlen, add more boxes and you can CARP load-balance.
