Glad to help Thomas. My experience with lower-end 2600's (2611/2621) is that they can reach approximately 500-750Kbps of 3DES IPsec performance (depending upon traffic type; purely 1440-byte packets might get you north of 800Kbps). The 831 is rated, as per Cisco (http://tools.cisco.com/cmn/jsp/index.jsp?id=20753), at around 2Mbps with standard traffic, so real world performance should be better (64-byte packets induce the greatest amount of stress).
This, plus the punting of LLQ into the crypto engine, Websense/N2H2 content filtering and virtual AUX makes this little router quite acceptable for small offices, though there isn't any modularity of course (e.g. no WICs, no NMs).
