Edgerouter Lite L2TP IPSEC VPN high CPU usage

I'm experimenting with a L2TP VPN to an Edgerouter Lite - have setup as per Ubiquiti's instructions here.

Router is on 2Degrees Gigabit Fibre and a speedtest onsite yields around 870/480 which is great.

Have made sure hardware offloading is enabled for IPSEC and gre, but only getting max throughput from a Windows client of around 45mbps (when copying a large file), and this is maxing out the CPU on the Edgerouter so I'm thinking the traffic is not actually being offloaded.

Has anyone else setup something similar and can comment on the throughput you were able to achieve?

Any comments or thoughts appreciated. I'm not expecting miracles but was expecting a bit more than 45mbps.

Edit - I should say I've had a reasonably good look through Ubiquiti's forums but it's a bit hard to sift through the thousands of posts about offloading being broken on the ER-X.
