That's normal. In linux's tun/tap driver displayed speed is hardcoded. 
It's not affects real speed (atop can show thousands percents load).

You could try :) It's mostly depends on what diver you have now :) e1000 
is faster than RTL8139 and VirtIO is faster than e1000. But for some 
Windows versions you may need Redhat's signed virtio drivers, which 
comes with RHEL.
