Did you tried to test transfer files with other protocols over OpenVPN - i.e. 
FTP or at least secure copy (scp)  or SFTP? Do you use UDP or TCP?

I would assume that your OpenVPN config is suboptimal for your IP link  
(fragmented or similiar) - i.e. "playing" with mtu and mssfix etc. Be aware 
that the choosen MTU suits to the selected crypto ciphers too.

Watch CPU load of the OpenVPN node to clearify if the CPU is a bottleneck too.

good luck,


Niels.
