In my tests with Linux 2.6, the current builds from SVN trunk or the git repo have shown around twice as much routing throughput with netfilter enabled, compared to the 8.09.* release builds.
With 2.4 the difference won't be as big, but if I remember correctly, our 2.4 kernel also contains some performance enhancements that were not merged back into the 8.09 release branch.
