Could you back your claims up with data? At testing connection tracking we could pump trough two million concurrent connection at 200000pps rate with opening up 20000 new connection per second on a dual Xeon PC with Serverworks chipset and Intel copper GE cards. Best results were achieved by Linux kernel 2.6.x with conntrack locking and TCP window tracking patches applied and NAPI enabled. I'd say that's not bad at all.
