What really pushes up CPU usage is the use of VPNs or SSH'ing to the 
Smoothwall itself. Other than that, there's no heavy burden for the CPU.

I have a P200MMX with 64MB of RAM and a 5GB hard drive to serve 3 home 
(student) users. I don't use VPN and if I use SSH it's to internal machines, 
not the Smoothie itself. When we're hammering the 700kb/s cable line, the 
Smoothie adds no noticeable latency. Load averages for the CPU stay around 
0.1!

Cheers,
Dave G.

In, out, in, out and shake the 'plane about.
You try a field landing and you overshoot,
That's what it's all about"
