completely wild-assed guess:

when the LVS-NAT director was using the masquerading code (2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels) a 75MHz director could do 50Mbps of LVS-NAT (ie about half saturating 100Mbps ethernet) - admittedly the director had a high load average (see my performance page). Scaling this up to modern hardware (1.5GHz director) using the old kernels, should give you 1Gbps of LVS-NAT at high load average. Now changing to the netfilter code (2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels), you should be able to get 1Gbps of LVS-NAT with a low load average. Is that enough?
