Are you running the iperf server or client on the r8169?
I'm running the iperf server on the r8169 and get the following results:

mb@homer:~$ iperf -c 192.168.2.50 -t120 -i10
------------------------------------------------------------

Looks acceptable to me.
The iperf client device is a BCM5780.
