Not sure what performance figures you are referring to (the ones that suck
I mean). To view the NSTL test results visit the TIS website at
http://www.tis.com/testing. To view University of Kansas test results
visit their website at
http://www.ittc.ukans.edu/projects/performance/gauntlet/. 

And feel free to contact TIS directly for sales and evaluation copies.
I've got to believe someone working for the USAF has better things to do.
:-) They will even point you to customers who are serious about security
and are running Gauntlet firewalls under heavy loads.
