I can confirm this. We made some tests with an Intel 7501 Board and get
around 780 Mbit/s routed traffic over the two network cards on FreeBSD
4.10. I'm sure we will get an even better performance with FreeBSD 5.3.
At the moment I'm running some tests with FreeBSD "Router" based on Intel
Network Cards.
