Anyone experience with ClearOS ? Horrible throughput :(

At the moment I am running ClearOS in a virtual machine.

Here you can see the throughput using my external firewall as gateway (SonicWall)
0% [................................... ] 10,861,432  2.41M/s  eta 20m 6s

Here using ClearOS as gateway
0% [................................... ] 4,021       2.53K/s

With an estimate of over 3 days for a 2.2GB file.

As you can see it is not just a little bit bad .. but pretty much unusable.

I am not using any filter etc. so I am a bit puzzeled as I hoped I can replace the (VERY old) Sonic ....

Edit: I just saw it picked up for a moment, but then crashed down to almost 0

It hasn't picked up since so I hope someone has seen this before ...........

I also now changed the NICs of the virtual machines with ClearOS to VMXNET3 with the same results.

Just as a sidenote .. the client and ClearOS are both installed onto the same physical ESX server (4.1u1) and both are connected to the same virtual switch. The virtual swtich is connected to an GbE uplink which is directly connected to a Cisco 3750G with unmetered connected (I am working in a hosting company myself). So all I am doing to test this is basically changing the virtual network card mapping from the virtual switch of the Sonic to the Clear OS router and vice versa and you immediately see the performance drop.
