not performance exactly but "transparent" should be written "intercept"
in 3.1+

Otherwise it looks just fine.

The other performance adjustmenst would be kernel and TCP stack things
to make ports available more frequently (avoiding some TIME_WAIT) and
accept jumbo packets etc. I'm not sure on the exact sysctl knobs to
tweak, they should be easy to find if you have not done them already.

FWIW: 3.1.10 is now in the release process with several memory
consumption fixes.
