In that case, there really is something else wrong.  By my measurements, 
rummaging through most of >1000 rules on a old 166MHz Pentium to get to 
the icmp allow rules (ridiculous, I know) added about 2ms to local net 
pings via that box, ie 1ms each pass for about 900 rules, mostly counts.

cheers, Ian
