Lab detail:

My tunning are (same for both test):
hw.igb.rxd="2048" (it should be useless now)
hw.igb.txd="2048" (it should be useless now)
hw.em.rxd="2048"
hw.em.txd="2048"
hw.igb.rx_process_limit="-1" (It should be useless now too)
hw.em.rx_process_limit="-1"

dev.igb.2.fc=0
dev.igb.3.fc=0

I can generate profiling data for you: what kind of data do you want ?
