I don't know much about CheckPoint's VPN solutions but the logical things that could cause degradation in performance could be either client PC's that now with VPN are required to encrypt/decrypt data, the end point machine that has to do the same things, some issues within the infrastructure beyond the VPN Checkpoint machine, all or some of the above issues could cause problems. Simply more information is required for better analysis.
