        Per the specs (bottom of that page) that's not far off from expected.

        Firewall
        (10k ACLs)
        IPERF3 Traffic: 656 Mbps
        IMIX Traffic: 190 Mbps

        The old version of that page had some footnotes that explained the benchmarking but instead see this post.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

            I would expect to see something closer to 400Mbps in a test again speedtest.net, which is all large packets. It won't ever pass Gigagbit though.

              @stephenw10 well. The point is I have a old desktop serving me as server and virtual gets me a better throughput. It's a shame... I thought the sg1100 would get me a gig
