Humm, not sure why your saying this based on the links you forwarded.
specifically, see:
http://www.networkcomputing.com/shared/printArticle?article=nc/1106/1106f1full.html&pub=nwc
which includes this graphic:
http://img.cmpnet.com/nc/1106/graphics/f13.gif
that shows FW-1 being slightly faster than Pix in raw throughput.
Also, if memory serves, the VPN-1 Gateway used in this testing is a
middle of the road Nokia box. If you buy through Nokia instead of CP you
can get an even faster platform.
HTH,
Chris
