Well, if you compile a kernel with ip-forwarding turned on but filtering disabled, one would expect that the router is faster because the code is just missing in the kernel. On a reasonably fast machine I'd say that these effects should be neglectable. But what do think is a reasonable machine? What will I need for a simple firewall with Internet (1 MBit), DMZ (Mailserver) and a local network in terms of MHz and MByte?
Thanks, Bernhard
