Someone else was having problems with low performance via dummynet a
couple of months back. It's presumably dummynet's packet scheduling
causing some bad interaction with the batch processing of packets in
netfront/back.
The first step to understanding this is probably to capture a tcpdump
and look at it with tcptrace to see what's happening with window sizes
and scheduling of packets.
