So we are supposed to stop providing preconfigured firewall just to make us look better in some tables of pseudorandom numbers some moron decided to put on his site (which other morons interpret as "openSUSE is slow"? Ubuntu comes with a firewall.
Fedora comes with a firewall.
And both ranked similar to Leap in the "10Gb/s ethernet test". Does ClearLinux (which was "much faster")? Did the Debian and FreeBSD installations that were also "much faster"? Actually... we don't even know because Michael Larabel somehow forgot to tell us (but he didn't forget to inform us about what GPU and monitor did the test system have because that's apparently way more important in ethernet performance test). He didn't even bother to mention actual parameters iperf and netperf were run with so that we cannot even check his numbers.
The answer to this is usually the benchmark suite is open-source, so you can have a look yourself. Something we do from time-to-time when looking at odd numbers from benchmark comparisons of compilers... Oh, and when pointing out specific issues with tests he's usually open to fixing those. But yes, it happens too often that the pretty graphs are results of GIGO ... Richard.

Just about every mainstream distro comes with a firewall.
If openSUSE's is slower for some reason, find out why the competitors' _aren't_.
