I did a test. I get 840 Mbps IPsec between two servers running xcp-ng and one pfSense in each. 4 vCPU 2.5GHz Xeon E5.
This was over 1GbE and with NAT, packet filtering, I/O overhead of Xen etc.I expected more but was too lazy to try on bare metal. But I would assume it's faster, also a newer CPU with higher clock frequencies would likely give it another boost.
If you want a lot more speed you can add an accelerator card. Intel has their Quick Assist Technology and a card that can do up to 50 Gbps is priced around $650.
How much RAM?
Did you check CPU usage?I think that he said 2GB.

Update: this is what I ended up with.
