I do not have any performance problems in Fact we find it very fast. Most 
performance problems seem to be with incorrectly configured DNS. Try 
disabling reverse lookups and see if this helps.

Subject: RAPTOR performance

We seem to be experiecing performance problems with Raptor, we have
around 300
users going through one NT/Compaq 5000/Raptor box (concurrently probably
less than
100)

and compared to our old borderware proxy, it appears slow. Is this the
experience of others
here ? should we have used Unix ?

We are an NT shop, and like the ease of admin of the NT accounts, are
the better performing
firewalls that also use the NT SAM ?

thanks for any advice
