I must apologize for suspecting the kernel for my problems. After some
bisect attempts I finaly noticed the following:

> cat /etc/sysctl.d/net.conf
> net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1
> net.core.rmem_max = 16777216

After removing those values I finally had sane iperf values.
No idea how those got there, perhaps they made sense when I first setup
the box, which is some years ago..

Anyway, thanks all for your help :)
