Not sure if this is best suited for -performance or -ipfw, so I'll try you
folks first.

Before I figure out a way to fairly benchmark it, has anybody done
benchmarks on IPFW or IPFW2 in FreeBSD 4.x and/or FreeBSD 5.x? I couldn't
find anything insightful in any of the list archives. I am looking
at designing a firewalling application and would like to have a rough idea
of how much stress I can expect to get out of FreeBSD before I even
investigate the platform any further.
