Hello list!

I'm quite stuck with bad forwarding performance on many FreeBSD boxes
doing firewalling.

In most cases system can forward no more than 700 (or 1400) kpps which
is quite a bad number (Linux does, say, 5MPPs on nearly the same hardware).

among the many interesting tests you have run, i am curious
if you have tried to remove the update of the counters on route
entries. They might be another severe contention point.
