The rules look a little unusual; in fact, they look downright
dangerous.  You may want to read a good iptables tutorial such as the
one by Oskar Andreasson.  You can find a link to it on the netfilter.org
web site.  You can also find some slide shows in the training section at
http://iscs.sourceforge.net 

However, I do not think your rules would create a throughput problem. 
How are you measuring your throughput?
