      I have a 1 Gbps fiber port at my location and my remote location has a T-3 (45 Mbps)

      I am not achieving anywhere near that with an IPsec tunnel and the speeds are not symmetrical, albeit in the opposite direction as what I realize using open VPN (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,64648.0.html)

      With IPsec configured between my side (1 Gbps, pfSense) and the remote side (45 Mbps, Cisco ASA 5510) I get about 10 Mbps when running iperf client on the Cisco side and I get a full 45 Mbps running the client on the pfSense side.

      Any ideas?

        I've had all kind of issues with 2.0.x and even 2.1 with regards to IPSEC.  This is the reason I've stayed 1.2.3 for most sites; rock solid with required IPSEC connections.  Also, having to work with other VPN devices, IPSEC is standard use.  Try it and see if it helps you.
