Itwas probably more dependent of the interrupt handler than routing
lookup speed. If you're connected to a T1 you are having a real
network card, like RisCom/N2 or something, and then it will not be
a problem.
IIRC, NetBSD -current does something like 144000 routing lookups/s
on a P 233 with Matt Thomas' latest flow-cache changes. I don't think
that even a 386/40 can't keep up with a 1.5 Mbit T1.
