Right now, i've got close to 2MB out, and 1MB in, with two fxp0 cards, and a
pretty heavy ruleset (40 rules, that most packets have to pass through all
of them).

last pid: 26211;  load averages:  0.00,  0.00,  0.00
13 processes:  1 running, 12 sleeping
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  6.6% interrupt, 93.4% idle


This is on a P/200.
