I am currently running a 486/66 as my NAT and firewall for my cable modem. If there is a speed slowdown, it is not detectable. If I remember right the ISA/PCI bus is going to be saturated long before the processor limitaions show up.
I got this little tidbit of wisdom from one of my professors: The key to never being management is to never explain anything clearly. If you do the technical aspect well but do not explain it clearly to managers and customers they will never promote you. It works.
