I posted an updated version of the article to reflect the new findings
and the proper speeds NetBSD can reach with high latencies:

https://omaera.org/wlog/tech/bsd_network_p2

Apparently VirtIO impacts performance in all OSes with
high-latency/congested networks, but NetBSD is affected much more
significantly. With E1000, NetBSD's performance is solid, although maybe
a bit more sensitive to congestion.

Additionally, I noticed that sshd receive performance was very low
compared to upstream OpenSSH, though enabling HPN resolved the issue.

Feel free to contact me directly if there's something else I can try, as
it's very possible that I could've missed something.

Thank you all.
