Hello, I have set up 2 VM's under Xen running each one IPSec-Endpoint. = Everything seems to work fine, but (measured with benchmarks/iperf) the = performance drops from ~10 Gb/s on a non-IPSec-Kernel to ~200 Mb/s with = IPSec compiled in, regardless of whether actually using IPSec or not. I have read about reasoning why IPSec isn't enabled in GENERIC, but = wanted to ask if this is the kind of performance hit one has to expect. I have observed this on FreeBSD 10.1 and 10 Stable, both AMD64. The = Hypervisor is running Xen 4.4 with a Linux 3.16 Dom0.=
