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.
