Now that our firewall rules have matured and we have successfully switched
from our backwards compatible ipchains ruleset, several people have noted,
including myself an increased speed and response time while surfing the
internet.  I would like to take credit for this upgrade as my co-workers
give me constant adulation but I feel that the credit really belongs to the
netfilter team themselves.

Just giving credit where credit is due...well done.

I was wondering if anyone can comment on the various reasons why it may be
so much faster than before.  Perhaps my previous ruleset or skills
proverbially...sucked, but I was hoping to overlook that.

Thanks to the netfilter team!
