Which package were you running? There's a number of different variations which have more or less features. If one doesn't need the full blown packages it's better to run a minimalist version, and turn off what ever services you don't need. It's a lot of setup. If you need the just basic functionality try the Tomato firmware. It's basic and solid. The QOS is decent (works better for me than the dd-wrt). The versions that have everything including the kitchen sink scare me (the chances of problems and errors rise exponentially as the code bloats).
