Did that increase your overall throughput? Drag racing pfsense vs OpenBSD on a xeon vmware system shows much less throughput on the OpenBSD system. I'm totally willing to pay the overhead for a more secure system, but I do still have certain performance goals.
no, i am able to saturate a 2.5gbps connection with NAT and filtering with or without ignoring the interrupt storm. Perf was never an issue, just higher temps (it's a fanless box) and probably energy draw (i never measured that so i am not sure how much)
