Did you try recompiling the pfsense FreeBSD kernel using the XENHVM kernel config? That way you'll get get PV drivers for network & disk I/O, which should help a lot.

Hi Everyone,
Just to let everyone know of my experience of network speed on pfsense HVM.
Initially, I started off by doing PCI passthrough for my WAN NIC, and used e1000 emulation for LAN. Speed was capping at 90Mbp/s.
When both were set to e1000, speed was capping at 30Mbp/s
When LAN was set to e1000 and WAN was set to default (rl8xxx), speed was capping at 71Mbp/s.
I wish I could have stayed with the first option, however my link speed is only detected at 10Mbps unless I take the cable out and in 2 or 3 times.
Any tips on the above? In some cases, to get the above speed, I had to enable "device polling" in pfsense
Thanks
