[fw-wiz] Cisco VPN client is slow behind new PIX

I recently replaced the gateway at my workplace, we had a Cisco 1721
and upgraded to a Cisco PIX 515E.
After the change my coworkers reported that their connection over
Cisco VPN client was less than half the speed it was before the
change. All the ACL rules that were on the 1721 were brought over to
the PIX.

The connection is from our office through the PIX to one of our
clients. We don't use NAT here, as we have a full Class C IP address.
Here's a sanitized excerpt from the PIX config.

! NAT Exemption Rule
access-list EXEMPT extended permit ip 206.x.x.0 255.255.255.0 any
nat (inside) 0 access-list EXEMPT
nat (outside) 0 access-list EXEMPT

! Excerpt of inbound Rules
access-list 101 extended permit gre any any
access-list 101 extended permit tcp any any eq pptp
access-list 101 extended permit udp any any eq isakmp
access-list 101 extended permit ah any any
access-list 101 extended permit esp any any
access-list 101 extended permit 46 any any

! Excerpt from outbound rules
