OpenVPN slow transfer speeds from mapped network drive.

I have openvpn running on pfsense, and is connected from alt location. A speedtest from alt location gives me ~250/250mbit on a laptop. A speedtest on the server will give ~900/900mbit. So internet speeds are good.
But if i connect to openvpn, and start a file transfer from a mapped network drive, i get ~11/15mbit. Openvpn is running on a i3-4025U, and by looking at cpu usage, there seems to be plenty of headroom.
Could this have anything to do with "force all traffic" through the vpn? I have it off.
Secondly, when you switch on the "force all traffic" do you need to do anything client side, like reconnect, change a setting or other? Because as a test, it did not seem to change anything.
