Performance with- and without pfsense

@Mr.:
@Mr.:
I will leave it at this, Igor.
It's Ivor actually. I'd suggest you have a really honest conversation with admins in your company regarding SAP.
I'll not leave it at this, Igor, I'll respond to this since you're seriously pissing me off. Yes, seriously.
and you've pointed out multiple times that you're not exactly the most knowledgeable person regarding pfSense or IT
I am the eternal noob on pfsense. But I also have two PhD's in economics from universities most people only dream of. Meaning: 'tmight be that the problem with pfsense is that it isn't perfect (if you catch my drift), nor is the documentation.
You comfortably moved in 'or IT', by means of a fallacy. You should make that less obvious.
You should not bully me about SAP, and me 'having to talk to my admins about SAP'. It so happens I have that very special badge SAP issues to very few people, very-few-people, they even have an official word for that badge.
I was doing SAP in 1992, for Walldorf. And ever since. You are probably referencing a friend of yours who didn't pass the exams, and found SAP way too difficult. Which might very well be true: it is about 140 zillion times more complex than pfsense.
You've managed to piss me off more than any other person on this forum in my years here, Igor, with your insults.
Bless you.
What you do and for how long is really not my concern. However, how people behave on forum is something that concerns me. So please, change your attitude and behave politely. I too found your multiple threads annoying and full of false accusations yet I was nice and polite in attempt to reason with you.
That being said, since you're obviously not paying attention, my name is Ivor, not Igor. Perhaps you should pay more attention with your pfSense config as well.

@Mr.:
Keep your Zyxel doing what you are happy with it doing and make the pfsense fill the gaps. How about that for a solution?
also tell me they have problems with pfsense in their test environments.
Can you spill the beans on this?
So effectively you are still stuck at the first post, ie its not running fast enough?
Can you say what HW you have?
Some programming languages are not the quickest at processing, I havent looked at what code is used in pfsense, but I know php is not as fast as its interpreted which means its got to go through another program which then talks to the OS or baremetal. C/C++/Assembler can be baremetal languages talking straight to HW, cutting out the OS but can also talk the OS in most cases which could explain in part why you dont see the speed. The zxyel is likely to have the code on a chip which generally is faster than having code go through an OS, simple example Intel AES (encryption) on the chip will always be faster than Windows doing AES encryption as another example. So back in the earlier days you will remember the who-ha about pentium MX's having the MX instruction set on the cpu included to speed up windows, its the same sort of thing.
Having the Milgram obedience to authority of certain uni attendance along with PHd's etc can be lucrative, this I dont deny, but does the Asch conformity of education make one a more clever person than another is often proved by criminals. Not knocking you, just giving you a different perspective. ;)
Edit. Its also worth pointing out that some of the firewalling is actually freebsd, some of it will be pfsense so your phd's might be seeing with problems with freebsd, until we know more its difficult to say where the problems exist WRT your phd's observations.

comparing SAP and pfSense is a major category mistake.
SAP Business One costs $2,975 per-user up front, and then 18% of total software cost on an annual, go forward basis.
This is a pfSense board. We are not here to discuss SAP, nor your education, nor your CISSP/CCNA/CCNP/CCIE/PhD/…, nor the "dismal science".
Keep it on-topic.
