i don't think i ever update my pfsense setup again.

Not an ideal situation. :P

Reading back it looks like you were running 2.1.1 and seeing good speed and then went straight to 2.1.3 and saw very bad speed. Yes? You haven't tried 2.1.2?

I guess once 2.2 is released this might be solved. If you do stick with a lower version until then make sure your firewall rules are locked down. There are vulnerabilities in those versions that could be exploited by someone with access to the admin interface.

how do i lock down the firewall rules ?

It's while since I read your config files. I mean just make sure that public users are prevented from reaching the webgui login page.
Also does your captive portal page have any reference to pfSense? It's easy to Google the known exploits in pfSense so you probably don't want to be announcing what you're running to a campsite full of 16 year old hackers with nothing better to do. ;) Security though obscurity is not great but it's better than nothing.
