I'm using them on several clients, wiht squid/samba/ipfilter/sendmail/apache
and never had a problem. The networks are mid-sized (300 to 1000 hosts).

You can do some research to find the problem:

1. search the logs.
2. Run ps/vmstat/iostat/netstat to see what happens.
3. Take a look at the -i and -m flags to netstat
4. Read tuning(7). You may need to tweak some things.
5. try a 'make buildkernel'. If there are some hardware problems, it will fail.

If that fails, just mail the list again :)
