I've just switched to jumbo frames on the home network (enabled
jumbo frames (mtu 9014) on NIC and one switch). I'm running a recentish

mtu 1500 there (I don't think WRAP NICs can do jumbo frames).
Should I run into problems? Higher latency, higher CPU load,
more memory? Don't see anything, but the box is not exactly
loaded.
If what I am reading above is correct, you've enabled it on a workstation
and on the switch but not on the firewall ?
Everything on the same collision domain ?
You mean broadcast domain. A switch/vlan is a broadcast domain, an
ethernet segment is a collision domain (i.e. a hub or thinnet).
If so, you will have problems.
Mix and match frame size on the same VLAN is a recipe for grief.
