Here are my own bench result regarding forwarding speed (paquet-per-second)
with a kernel compiled without-ipsec and with ipsec (ipsec is not enabled
during the tests, just present on the kernel) of FreeBSD 10.0-PRERELEASE:

ministat -s without-ipsec ipsec
x without-ipsec
+ ipsec
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|x               +    x    +      +x  x            x           +
     +|

    N           Min           Max        Median           Avg        Stddev
x   5       1646075       1764528       1725461       1713080     44560.059
+   5       1685034       1833206       1724461     1748666.8     62356.218
No difference proven at 95.0% confidence

I didn't see negative impact of enabling ipsec (it's even a little bit
better with it).

Olivier
