Ping times are "normal" at anywhere between <1ms to 2ms. Using DD, I created a 
1GB file to download via HTTP through the tunnel. It started at about 2.2mbit 
and slowly ramped up. The peak speed was around 3.4mbit.

I kept an eye on the CPU and memory usage during the transfer. OpenVPN 
definitely used more CPU time but still didn't max out the box:

PID   USERNAME  THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
10815 root      1   111    0  2424K  2136K RUN      0:58 47.01% openvpn

Memory usage stayed about the same. Even during the transfer, my constant ping 
was within sub 6ms times.

One of the nics is an intel pro/100 desktop adapter in a PCI slot, the other is 
an onboard VIA Rhine adapter. I know the Rhine adapters aren't exactly "good" 
:-/ so I may try another NIC instead. It would not explain why SIP traffic is 
funky while everything else is fine, but at least it's something to try.
