Hello, 

have a look at: 
http://www.checkpoint.com/products/firewall/perf_data.html

there are some Firewall-1 Test Results (testing by KeyLabs). 
Similar tests were made by Compaq with EagleNT 4.0 and showed a 
better performance than the published (!) results of Firewall-1. They 
measured performance with logging and address translation enabled, 
mixed http,ftp traffic and up to 75 simulated "users". Second test
was about encryption performance with similar results. 
The detailed results are in a Raptor Proprietory Information.

Be careful with all these numbers until someone has tested  
exactly the same scenarios in Hardware and Configuration.
