No, can't.  As I understand the current answers, we will remove ipfw 
from the main code path and get a pfil'ed version instead.  So this 
won't affect the speed after all.  Besides, if somebody cares about his 
filtering speed, he should do measurements.  I don't have the network, 
the equipment, nor the filter set to measure speed.
