high cpu usage on natd / dhcpd

I've got the same issue - heavy CPU load of natd and dhcpd processes :(
I bought Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter (82571) to my home
server. I also noticed big loopback transfers on lo0 iface.
If I connect and work from WAN (em0) it's dropping packets and hangs for
some time, even disconnecting me, if I work from within LAN (em1) than 
works fine.

My system: FreeBSD 8.3-PRERELEASE

# systat -ifstat

Any solutions?...
