I are opinon on this as follows:

If you have a cablemodem that's fast enough that what operating system you
run on its router actually _matters_, I don't want your favorite operating
system; I want your cablemodem.

Or, in other words, whatever the source of your performance problem, I don't
think it's what you think it is.
