We're planning on publishing some performance figures on our website once we
are able to fully document our testing methodology.  The performance is
affected by many factors, such as the hypervisor, type of packets, etc. and
raw numbers can be misleading without a description of the environment.  We
also have a number of optimizations in the development pipeline so we expect
to see even greater gains in the future.
