That's pretty odd. I don't think I've seen that reported before, so
there might be something different in your configuration than what other
people run.
Do you add/delete ipchains rules on a regular basis? I just saw a post
on linux-kernel about a memory leak when deleting rules...
When you are seeing the performance problem, is it only masqueraded
systems that show a performance drop? If you login to masq box and run
a ping from there, is it fast? Is an ftp transfer direct from the masq
box faster than one from behind the masq box? As you can see, this
would show if the masq box is at fault.

Do they get good ping times, or bad ping times?

It does sound like the problem is on the masq box, if a reboot fixes it.

In my experience, upgrading a kernel is an hour-long process, at most,
not a weekend project. But as with all free software, it does come at a
price: Your time. :)
