    This I didn't expect with file sharing. What's there beside the networking that consumes so much CPU?

    Are the encryption methods offered by those 10 to 15 years old hardware engines still relevant in today's networking anyway?
    Another way to better network performance would be a network stack with modern features and with a new "SANA-III" interface to the driver level.

    Almost. X1000 and X5000 have a CPLD, which I don't think would suffice for such purpose.
