checkpoint runs native on splat boxes or Nokia IP boxes. Checkpoint wont create a high load as long as your doing basic FW/Natting. Start doing heavy amounts of VPN traffic through the tunnels. Watch your load creep on up
big cpu is only needed really when your dealing with encryption/decrption and depending on the keys.
Checkpoing FTW! but i still prefer the netscreens overall.
