Using it as a module would only slow you down if netfilter is required, because itwould load and unload, contstantly, causing you to remember what the 486 was like.

the CPU is PIII800, 256M ram. 
kernel 2.4.19-pre1
i just add some patches of netfilter to the kernel,such as the time patch. btw,i compiled all the netfilter options into the kernel,not as modules. will that affect the performance?
thanks.

It's unlikely to be unloaded.

well only if it was used little amounts, like once every hour, it would dynamically unload in between, and dont modules, recompile on each use? I was told they were, although im more of a sound driver person.

why would it get unloaded repeatedly?
