Description

We're running a PFSense cluster which contains the following amount of rules:

- 60x Outbound NAT rule
- 120x NAT rule (port forward)
- 80x 1:1 NAT rule
- 850x Firewall rule

When reloading the filter (or applying changes to rules / NAT) the full reload will take 10 minutes to finish!

When i check the logs on the "Filter Reload" page the "NAT Reflection" rules are taking 5 seconds each! The Firewall rules are quite fast, they are loaded all together in about 5 seconds!

Initializing
Creating aliases
Creating gateway group item...
Generating Limiter rules
Generating NAT rules
Creating 1:1 rules...
Creating reflection NAT rule for VIP for xxxxxx... -> takes about 5 seconds
Creating reflection NAT rule for VIP for xxxxxx... -> takes about 5 seconds
Creating reflection NAT rule for VIP for xxxxxx... -> takes about 5 seconds
Creating reflection NAT rule for VIP for xxxxxx... -> takes about 5 seconds
Creating reflection NAT rule for VIP for xxxxxx... -> takes about 5 seconds
(and so on, for all reflection rules)

So the problem (delay) seems only to be present at the "NAT reflection" rules.

Each server is running baremetal with the following specs:

- 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v2 @ 2.60GHz
- 64GB RAM
- SSD storage

How can we speed up our reloads?
