Well, from the Cisco website on a PIX firewall The compact desktop chassis of the Cisco PIX 506E provides two autosensing Fast Ethernet (10/100) interfaces. Ideal for securing high-speed Internet connections, the Cisco PIX 506E delivers up to 100 Mbps of firewall throughput, 16 Mbps of Triple Data Encryption Standard VPN throughput, and 30 Mbps of Advanced Encryption Standard-128 VPN throughput in a cost-effective, high-performance solution. So, it looks like AES 128 is roughly 2x as fast as 3DES. I would hazard a guess and say AES256 would than be about as fast as 3DES.
