Would a lot of iptables rules slow down the machine?
Slow down the machine itself? Or slow down network traffic?
iptables itself compared to other packet filters like ipf or ipfw is very fast because it resides on kernel space, overhead is almost a non-issue. (unlike for example ipf or ipfw which uses userland tools)

furthermore, iptables is capable to filter ethernet frames and
packets thru the combination of mac and ip address.. for example allow this packet if the source ip address and the source mac
address are equal to your value otherwise drop it...
Any recommended sites/reading materials?
iptables howto and iptables man page are your best reading materials :->
