Shimon,
Don't forget the disclaimer on that page:
"About The Results
FireWall-1 throughput performance results are not meant to be used as a
comparison between vendor platforms. No attempt was made to match
similar systems in price/performance categories. The systems tested may
represent any model in a vendor�s product line, from a high-end system
to a low-end system. The numbers listed here are simply representative
of certain models within a particular vendor�s product line."
They didn't try to match hardware specs, so you're assumptions are
necessarily correct.
