Hello, i have been using pfsense 2.01 as virtual firewall for a while but switched back because of high cpu load
compared to the linux/shorewall used before.
I would like to continue using pfsense but it takes 10 times the cpu compared to the linux/shorewall fw. doing the same job. (nat'ing a 100/100 internet feed)
I tried all NIC's but they performed about the same, except for the virtual one that pfsense dont recognize.
At idle pfsense use 5% cpu and when downloading near max it shows 100% cpu usage.
Any hint or tipp to get pfsense cool down?
Thanks in advance
