Well, it still is a slow processor.  For best performance, I'd add
"childsa enc aes-128-gcm" to the iked configuration.  The default
cipher is aes-256-cbc with hmac-sha2-256, and the latter has a
noticeable performance impact.

Every half gigabyte of transferred data, iked rekeys.  There is a
longstanding bug there that causes the ikeds to lose synchronization.
They will eventually resync on their own, but it takes several
minutes.
