What are some good command line settings to get an idea of what kind of
throughput pfsense has?  currently I'm just doing:

host1: iperf -c host2
host2: iperf -s

and getting about 613 Mbits/sec. Where host1 is on the LAN net and host2
is on the OPT1 net (in other words the route through the firewall).  If
I run:

host3: ipeft -c host2

I get about 935 Mbits/sec.  Where host2 and host3 are both on OPT1 net
(and don't go through the firewall).

Currently all LAN and OPT1 net only have a single rule which passes all
traffic.

For the curious I've got redundant supermicro 5014C-MFB systems with
3ghz HT cpu's, 1gig dual channel memory, 2 onboard Gig ethernet and a
PCI-X 4 port Intel Gig ethernet card.  The switches are Dell 5324 24
Gig.
