Teamed NIC's slower that a single NIC

I have a new Dell R620 Server running Microsoft Sever 2012.  The server has 2 network adapters with 4 ports each.   I have Hyper-V running and I have 3 VMs.  Two of the VM's are each running on a single NIC and I'm seeing Ping Times of 1 to 2 MS.  For my account server I decided to setup a team one port from each adapter for redundancy but the ping times are much slower.  Usually around 4 to 5 MS.  I would have thought a team would be a little faster.  Is that not the case of do I need to change some configuration.

The Network adapters are Broadcom and Intel.  Should I just go with a single NIC like the other VM's for a little better speed or stick with the team.
