Untangle is a major resource hog from what I remember.
It is. It isn't routing or switching software, it's just Linux as a full OS with tons of apps running on it. So unlike, say, Vyatta which powers the Ubiquiti which is based on Linux but is extremely light and fast because it is a custom kernel with a custom network stack just for routing, Untangle is the full blow OS with nothing special. So you need tons of horsepower to handle normal routing tasks effectively.
