300Mhz and 256MB ram I wouldn't expect much from it.  Try turning on
SecureXL  

As per Nokia:

Supported Platforms:

You can run IPSO 4.1 and an application on the following Nokia IP security
platforms:
IP130,IP260, IP265, IP350, IP355, IP380, IP385, IP390 (disk-based and
flash-based), IP530, IP560 (disk-based and flash-based), IP710, IP740,
IP1220 (disk-based and flash-based), IP1260 (disk-based and flash-based),
IP2250, IP2255.
For better performance, Nokia recommends that you have at least 256 MB of
memory in your platform.

They should recommend 512MB

Subject: [FW-1] Nokia IP130 is a piece of junk to run NGx

I installed NGx R60 with HFA_04 on a Nokia IP130 running IPSO 4.1 build 016.
  This enforcement module is being managed by a SPLAT SmartCenter.  I have
two
  VPN tunnels between the IP130 and two cisco devices, VPN concentrator and
Pix
  firewall.  The only traffics going through the tunnel is icmp.  I have
continous
  ping going through the tunnel for testing purposes.  By the way, I have a
very
  small policy with less than 4 rules including the vpn rules.
   
  The problem is that everytime I make changes to the policy and push it to
the
  Nokia enforcement module, I keep getting errors telling me that resource
is
  not available to accept the policy and it timing out.  This happens about
70% of
  the time.  Even when the policy is successfully installed, my ping is
timing out
  for about 30 seconds before resuming.  I check the cpu status on the nokia
via
  "vmstat 1" and the cpu is maxing out at 100% utilization.  WTF!
   
  Now if I am running the checkpoint on the Nokia as a standalone firewall,
it gets
  worse.  Everytime I have to push the policy, it takes about 10 minutes for
the policy
  to get pushed and if I even have active vpn tunnels, even without
traffics, the policy
  installed will fail.  
   
  I look on Nokia site and it stated that ipso 4.1 is supported on IP130
platform.  
  I think Nokia should be honest and informed end users that the performance
will be
  very poor when you have vpn even with little or no traffics at all if one
decide to run
  Checkpoint NGx on IP130 appliance.
   
  I tested the IP130 with ipso 3.7.1 and NG with AI R55w and the performance
is about
  20 times faster than NGx.  My VPN tunnels still work during the policy
push.
   
  I guess what I am trying to say here is that whatever Nokia SE or TAC is
telling
  you, take it with a grain of salt.  Just because it will work with NGx
does not mean
  it will work well.
