​sometimes (often, actually) the hw has bottlenecks that make native
netmap mode almost useless.
​One thing you could try is the "emulated netmap mode" which
is used by default​ if the driver has no native support.
This is in the code on code.google.com/p/netmap/ ,
the branch "next" (which is basically the code now in FreeBSD)
has some fixes for that specific feature

cheers
