Yes, I compiled by myself using default Make file. Now I see, that
PFILDEBUG was defined in there and recompiled pfil, but will test it
tomorrow.
Are there any other concerns about performance issues ? Why DEBUG is
defined by default and no info in README file about this ?
Thank you for your advice.
With best regards
Martynas

Do you compile IPFilter by yourself ?
In many version of IPfilter source code, the Pfil Makefile set the debug
flag on by default.
You may check Pfil Makefile in your code to make sure PFILDEBUG is not
set. E.g
PFILDEBUG=
It highly impacts network performance with this flag on.
