If you look the the PIX 515E description, its throughput is 188 without encryption and 68 with DES and 3DES even with the VPN card.
This is just what happens when you do DES or 3DES. Every time that I have used encryption this has occured.

I did some testing though and found that the VPN was adding about 27% overhead compared to bypassing VPN and going direct to a server. I'm wondering if others have done testing and what were your results. We are currently using V-One but I will be looking at Cisco's solution.
