Hmm, in HEAD there looks to be a hw.bce.rx_pages that can be set to
1, 2, 4, or 8.  It defaults to 2.  In the 7 driver it looks like this
is a #define in sys/dev/bce/if_bcereg.h (RX_PAGES on line 6710).  Try
changing RX_PAGES from 2 to 4 (or 8) and recompiling your kernel (or
bce driver) and see if that helps.
