Shorewall itself imposes no limitations besides the 20% penalty imposed
by conntrack. But a stupid Shorewall configuration can certainly add
lots of delay and packet loss.

I suggest that you try:

a) clients -> server with no intermediate Linux Router.
b) clients -> Linux Router with no conntrack -> server
c) clients -> Linux Router with nf_conntrack loaded -> server.
d) clients -> Linux Router with Shorewall -> server.

If d) is substantially worse than c), then please submit the output of
'shorewall dump' collected after the test.
