[Pc_Support] ViA C3 for IPCop? Yes/no?

[William Warren]

FPU is hammered due to the packet analysis of snort.  Also the data 
analysis Dansguardian does is also very FPU intensive.  As i said squid 
isn't cpu intensive at all..the other two(dansguardian and snort) are 
highly fpu intensive.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
