Tunnel bandwidth command (or any interface bandwidth) is used for statistics-computation only. It does factor into QOS too if you use percentage type commands. I'm guessing there are two possible things to look at. The CPU of the devices doing the tunnel endpoints is high because of the encapsulation, or else the tunnel MTU is affecting the clients (if TCP).

The tunnel is riding over 10-gig links. I see that the default tunnel bandwidth is 8 Mbps. Does that mean that the tunnel is rate limited to that value? If so, is the simple solution raising the bandwidth with the "tunnel bandwidth transmit" command?
