Oh well. Thats a statement I can use. :)

The buckets and active states kept changing, around 1500-4000+.

I talked to our netadmin, who told me, that this could be the problem.
In my ruleset I seems to carry _lots_ of unnecessary state information
around. I changed this to keep state only for outgoing connection
and flags S/SA set.

I will see, how it behaves.

Thanks a lot so far.

Daniel
