performance is much better then UFP. Been through this many, many times, even with websense 6.3. I think if you have less then 10 mb to the internet, then the UFP would be comparable to the Agent mode. But when you start having 4,000+ clients browsing the internet, the websense box (and checkpoint) takes a huge performace hit in UFP mode.

FYI; Use a GB cisco switch with SPAN commands instead of a hub.
