How much traffic do you have going through at the time you posted this?
This data would be more meaningful if, say, you we're doing an FTP or dump
to a machine just on the other side, so you had lots of traffic.  If it's
idle, then it doesn't really matter how many rules or how much you've
got--it'd be as idle on a 386-16.
