The win in connected mode comes with larger MTUs. With a 9000 MTU, I see ~6 Gb/s. Pushing the MTU to 655120 (the maximum for ipoib), I can get ~13 Gb/s.

Have a look at an old thread in this ML by Sebastien Dugue "IPoIB to 
Ethernet routing performance"
He had numbers much higher than yours on similar hardware, and was 
suggested to use datagram to achieve offloading and even higher speeds.
Keep me informed if you can fix this, I am interested but can't test 
infiniband myself right now.
