PF runs on only one core, no issue here. But there is DNS server, web server, nagios, smtpd, squid, plus some other things running with it. So having more cpu's would be nice. I see some cpu throughput bottlenecks now and then. It was more of a rant than anything else. I will only be able to take a look at why the cpu doesn't show in a few months. And even then I'm not sure I'll be able to solve the problem.
