      @cpliu903:

      i have same issue, very very slow.

      You haven't given us any information to work with. A place to begin would be to complete the sentence "I did … and I saw ... but I expected to see ... " For example, "I pinged my ISP's router from a LAN client and the response time was over 5 seconds but I expected it to be much quicker than that because my ISP link is a 100Mbps fibre link and nothing else was using it at the time."

      I understand its difficult to know what information is significant but after reading the pfSense forums for at least a couple of years I would say its far more common for people reporting problems to provide too little information than for people reporting problems to provide too much information.

      There are many things that could cause the perception of slowness. Giving some information about what you were doing and why you thought it was slow is highly likely to hasten resolution of your problem by helping indicate which area or areas should be investigated.

        A shot in the dark:  Try editing your /boot/loader.conf file and commenting out the nmbclusters as follows```
        #kern.ipc.nmbclusters="0"

          Any solution to solved this trouble?
          My problem is the same. Now I try new version 2 Beta 1 but is work well for a few day after that the load balancing working so terrible.
          We have a network around 400 clients, 20 VLANs for them, 5 internet connection and load balancing by Pfsense. I only use load balancing outbound for http service but now i must disable load balancing service.
          In early morning the speed is load very good but late when all staff starting to work at that time the number of connection increase and pfsense starting unstable after few day find solution now i must cancel to use pfsense for load balancing.
          Any idea can held us find good solution in this case?
          Thanks very much.!!!

              I'm locking this thread because it's been getting hijacked for 2 years, and the initial problem was determined to be an ISP issue (which is almost always the cause of such problems).

              If you have a performance problem, start a new thread and post details (not just "it's slow").
