Well it's not my boat that's the problem. We have some hardcore gamers in the house who constantly complain about crappy latency, which in other words means the latency through an embedded router going up by 10 milliseconds if it's doing something CPU intensive. Apparently, this is unacceptable to them.

Granted, the load average would readily hit 4.0+ on the old router if you tried to view a bandwidth graph at the same time as downloading, and the bandwidth chart would report 100-150Mbps (on a 80Mb line) due to timing problems. It's more the increased processing power of going from 680Mhz MIPS to 4.5Ghz of x86-64 that we wanted.

There's also the problem of Apple devices spamming Avahi announces all over the place killing battery life on mobile phones, hence they're now on an isolated VLAN.
