You're missing my point.
The answers here (so far) were stating that there would never be any network performance running a software firewall. As I said, with a decent CPU that wont' happen.
I'm saying that's not a simple fact, but rather a result of PCs now having fast CPUs and only running small home networks.
As I said earlier, if you tried running a full LAN through a software firewall running on a PC, that was also being used for playing Quake (for example), then you would see service degradation.
I think you're being far too pedantic and argumentative, as you do seem to understand the issues in question.
And I can do without the water analogy. It's rather old hat.
