Hello, Ian.
You wrote 30 =D0=B0=D0=B2=D0=B3=D1=83=D1=81=D1=82=D0=B0 2012 =D0=B3., 10:23=

  Not a problem at all, here it is:

  Yep. I didn't see it. My question is, really: why vr1 (my physical
interface, used to connect to my ISP) takes 50%+ of CPU when traffic
is only 40mbit/s down and about 20mbit/s up (with many connections)? I
was afraid, that all PPPoE traffic is inspected by ipfw and it causes
additional CPU load.

  Yes, it is only 500Mhz Geode LX, but it is only 40 mbit/s and
4.5Kpps in both directions, nothing like full 100Mbit or more, and
I've learned "empirical" rule/heuristics about 1Gbit(!) per 1Ghz(!)
for softrouters, So, theoretically, 40mbit should not be a problem at
all for this hardware.

  And now I have not-working WiFi (this box is also AP) when wired
traffic is high (wifi speed drops down to 100KB/s from 2.5-3MB/s
without wired traffic), userland freezes under load (very bad with
ULE, better with 4BSD), and inability to pass through 40Mbit in both
directions simultaneously.
