Hi all,
so if anyone encounters this issue, there is some hint:)

It seems that for DomU there must be dedicated NIC assigned to each
guest to reach 1Gbps (or more).

For Dom0 the solution is to simply forget about vethX/vif0.X pairs and
assign the IP of dom0 directly to bridge device (if you use bridging).
 Than everything's fast again.
