Can anybody point me what the bottleneck of this configuration is? CPU was

A "generic" problem in your case might be ICMP limiting which is turned
on in FreeBSD by default. See net.inet.icmp.icmplim sysctl.



Also ping -f itself does not try to saturate the link to the max. The
manual states :

-f Flood ping. Outputs packets as fast as they come back or one
hundred times per second, whichever is more.
