You could try messing with the MTU value if it is available.
May I suggest trying with IPERF to measure the exact bandwidth between the 2 endpoints of the bonded vpns.
I already tried messing with the MTU but at low values (like under 1000) it got even worse (up to 8k PPS from 6k) so I switched it back to 1500.
Here is what I get with iperf:

iptraf, mrtg, and gkrellm seem to give me better
