All things are relative. LVS-NAT is actually pretty fast.
I have seen it do well over 600Mbit/s. But in theory LVS-DR
is always going to be faster because it does less work.
If you only have 100Mbit/s on your LAN then either will be fine.
If you have gigabit then LVS-NAT will still probably be fine.
Beyond that... I am not sure if anyone has tested that to see
what will happen.
In terms of number of connections, there is a limit
with LVS-NAT that relates to the number of ports.
But in practice you probably won't reach that limit anyway.
