Your
reaction was the same as mine .. but my manager insisted that this was true (a
friend of his told him so), and he could not accept no as an answer, and made me
doubt as well. By the way I am using FW1 v4.1 SP5 without the 3DES
encryption or any other bells and whistles.

You're kidding, right?
First off, Checkpoint is a company, not a product. Secondly,
they've been known to take 40% of my budget at times but never 40% of
available bandwidth. ;)
CP
primarily produces FW and VPN software. Aside from the slight packet
overhead associated with VPNs and encapsulation or possibly the remote
management of the device, can you think of ANY way in which ANY FW product
will chew up bandwidth? For god's sake, think about what a FW does
before asking questions like that.

Is it true that Checkpoint takes 40% of
your available Internet bandwidth, and if so is there anything that can be
done to reduce
it?
