I don't see any obvious problems in the Xenoprof output.  Anyone with
experience with the inner workings of HVM domains care to comment on what
might be causing the network performance to suffer so much?

You'll never get good throughput either from a NE2000 nor from a pcnet32
model.
That was a suspicion of mine, but I wasn't sure. I wonder if qemu-dm could emulate another adapter (if so, which one would be best?) or do we just punt and go for para-virt drivers.
