Thx,  i am mostly disappointed in their implementation of nat/ipsec
require flow processing, it's totally unnecessary!  i hate session
tables too!

Although i heard horrible things about boot time on lower level srx
devices, it claims to need 5 minutes to boot up.  how is yours ?I'm
mostly interested in boot time under 10.4 (jtac recommend version)
