While playing around with systat I've discovered that the transfer =20
rate can be as low as 20 KB/s and as high as 850 KB/s on a single =20
download from http://test-debit.free.fr, but the mean value will =20
always be around 120-150 KB/s when pf is active. =46rom one sample to =20=

another (every second), the transfer rate is very erratic.
If I disable pf on ext_if (set skip on $ext_if), the transfer rate =20
reaches quickly 850 KB/s and is almost stable. It decreases to =20
400-450 KB/s for 1 or 2 seconds, 3 or 4 times per minute.
