The X1 is great for firewall. Your limits to consider is not the transfer in Mbps, but always the PPS. That's where you will hit the wall if to high and that's not only with X1, but any servers. PPS is really the biggest problem here, unless you start talking multiple time 100Mb/sec.
You are right. Right now, I am running anywhere from 750 to 1000 PPS which isn't anything too high. A new DS3 is getting installed in the next couple of months and I was thinking about using the X1's to firewall that new connection which will run a higher PPS. Initially, it won't be much higher but time will tell.
