completely wild-assed guess:

when the LVS-NAT director was using the masquerading code 
(2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels) a 75MHz director could do 50Mbps 
of LVS-NAT (ie about half saturating 100Mbps ethernet) - 
admittedly the director had a high load average (see my 
performance page). Scaling this up to modern hardware 
(1.5GHz director) using the old kernels, should give you 
1Gbps of LVS-NAT at high load average. Now changing to the 
netfilter code (2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels), you should be able 
to get 1Gbps of LVS-NAT with a low load average. Is that 
enough?
