To understand why firewall reviews are mostly useless, look at the weights
giving to firewall factors in this review:
http://www.lantimes.com/testing/98aug/808b038b.html

Security:  350
Ease of use/installation:  300  (almost as high as security!)
Features:  250
Performance:  100

The score for security is about 1/3 of the total score.  I submit that
someone hasn't thought through the function of a firewall.
