IPv6 is done on FWSM only on the Control-Plane Pentium III that is
running with a clock of 1GHz, so yes, the real world performance
will be unacceptably low for any aggregation/core/data center scheme
and will contribute to the load of control plane for the FWSM itself.

Use either ASA5580 or wait for next generation FWSM (any plans around
that require contacting with local AM/SE pair from nearest Cisco office)
