Hello,

I have set up 2 VM's under Xen running each one IPSec-Endpoint. Everything 
seems to work fine, but (measured with benchmarks/iperf) the performance drops 
from ~10 Gb/s on a non-IPSec-Kernel to ~200 Mb/s with IPSec compiled in, 
regardless of whether actually using IPSec or not.

I have read about reasoning why IPSec isn't enabled in GENERIC, but wanted to 
ask if this is the kind of performance hit one has to expect.

I have observed this on FreeBSD 10.1 and 10 Stable, both AMD64. The Hypervisor 
is running Xen 4.4 with a Linux 3.16 Dom0.
