My experiences from upgrade to R71 on UTM1- 570 are:
 - performance is really better, average cpu usage on our UTM-1 570 went
from 70% to 15%
 - I weren't able to switch on SecureXL which should be free of charge -
when I try it, it says "No license"
 - I don't know if the antivirus is working or not - when I try to download
eicar test file, I succeded and firewall only said that the file is detected
(the switch for antivir is "block" of course)
 - if you had problem with high IOWAIT state during sending a policy at
R70.3, it happenned to us even during ordinary situation at R71 and firewall
restart was necessary
 - if you use UTM appliance, the space on / directory is only 1,5 GB after
all updates. So you are forced to use antivirus in a new way otherwise you
are not able to download bigger files.

>From my experience I would recommend upgrade to anybody who is a good
betatester.
