Based on my limited testing it was very much a case of diminishing returns: adding a second connection to the mix increased overall throughput by around 40%, but adding a third connection to that mix only increased things by about 10%. I had similar experiences using PPP bonding, and using Mikrotik's own EoIP tunnels, so pfSense isn't the limiting factor. As I understand it, the problem is usually packets arriving out of order at the far end leading to retransmissions of the apparently 'missing' packets. In my experience, a mix of load balancing and policy-based routing nearly always works better than link aggregation on variable-speed WAN connections.
