Bad cheap nics can do really terrible performance downgrading as well steal important cpu times. After getting the hardware straight you can get really great improvements by tweaking values for a cache server. Since we talk Freebsd here you might get easy 20% or more overall performance benefit in comparism to a stock OS and especially on SMP machines.
