The only way your going to know for absolute sure where the bottleneck
exists is to do a wireshark/tcpdump trace simultaneously on both sides.
Then with that information you will know where the bottleneck is and
armed with that you can start exploring why there is a bottleneck
there.
Off the top of my head, there could be a IP MTU mismatch somewhere and
with ICMP disabled this would cause a blackhole for some full packet
traffic.
