The person you're responding to was asking about network performance. I imagine specifically regarding pf (packet filter, the firewall component).

To the grandparent: PF is still single threaded. If you had performance issues with that before you may still have them, but CPU improvements over time may have negated that impact. It's worth trying it out again.
