The same can be said of routing (at high speeds), especially when you have to start doing QoS and other bits and pieces.
We either need smarted network cards with their own high-speeds but and routing engine, or too accept that linux will only perform no worse than another OSs doing the same function - but probably never as well as a dedicated bridge or router.
