AES should be faster.  I remember seeing a few posts about this.  For
example, http://lists.freeswan.org/pipermail/users/2002-February/007771.html
indicates 89mbps with AES as opposed to 44mpbs with 3DES.    Alternatively,
the creater of the patch for FreeSWAN indicated 'expect 3 to 2 performance'.

Are you sure you're not using double the keysize with your setup?  There has
to be some explanation.  AES _IS_ faster, at least on the 15 or so tunnels I
have created.
