I don't have speed comparaisons because I've never used linux as a router :)
However I have a P200 acting as a filtering routers between 5 LANs and the
internet (with 5 PCI 100Mbs/s NICs and a 10Mbs ISA, the ISA one being used to
connect to a NetBSD/sparc IPC acting as a incoming telnet/ssh gateway),
I don't have performances problems with it.
