We used to run early versions of Open vSwitch on the WRTSL54GS (which is only a bit beefier than the WRT54GL) and didn't have any problems. My guess is that it would run even better now, since the code has gone through a number of optimizations. If packets are hitting the kernel cache, it's really only header parsing and a hash lookup, which is pretty cheap. --Justin
