Oh yeah, bridged mode on my little pentium system brings perf way down. It was fine on 1G, but when I upgraded to 10G and wanted to hit numbers, I needed to stop doing software bridging. For me, I have slots and NICs, so I moved away from virtual ethernet on a bridge to actual ports; main host gets the 10G, and everything else gets to use 1G ports. No SR-IOV on my board, but that's ok.
