That's still quite slow on the OmniOS box. On a 3.5GHz Haswell-E (E3-1241 v3) I get:

type             16 bytes     64 bytes    256 bytes   1024 bytes   8192 bytes
aes-256-gcm     394656.68k  1001238.31k  2094818.99k  2407235.93k  2689916.93k

Perhaps you may want to check the BIOS settings of your OmniOS box and ensure that "AES-NI Instructions" are turned on. Your hardware vendor might have that termed differently - AES Acceleration and such.
