Yeah, our firewall is a 450 Mhz Pentium II. What are new IP650s shipping with?

What processor does your IP650 have?

Older versions have Pentium III 450M, I have seen sites where these would max out at about 50M straight stateful when using short packets.

Aaron,

what's a ps -ef give you? That way you can see which process eats your CPU.
My first thought would be that isakmpd is eating all your CPU time; it is
kinda fond of that since SP6.
