Firewalla Gold: large network transfers cause firewalla to slow down and lag?
I have noticed that when I do LARGE data transfers to the internet (500GB downloads) the firewalla gold seems to slow the entire network down.
If I disable various monitoring and firewalla features the network speeds back up and websites load quickly on client devices, etc...
Is there anyway to determine if the Firewalla Gold is being a bottleneck?

Hard to say, the slow down can be pretty much anywhere in the system. When you are in router mode, turning to monitor off/on really doesn't reduce CPU usage that much.
For example, we have seen user's networks congested, and DNS was much slower than before. That causes delays on the first website load. To fix that, best to just turn on Smart Queue. And if you have network that may be congested, put a rate limit that's 90% of the max IPS rate, that may help with responsiveness
