No, we haven't bought any ASKs. We have worked with them on a DPDK project and they were quite helpful when it came to debugging difficult bugs with it.

Improving the routing performance in Linux is near the top of my TODO list, however. XDP is one candidate (see https://forum.traverse.com.au/t/vyos-build-my-repo/181/5 for some results) and using the LS1088's AIOP is another possibility.

Linux is important but FreeBSD is the key to heart of majority of DYI firewall builders. I'm huge fan of your project and looking for opportunities to get hands on experience with it.

I see that support for FreeBSD going in good direction:

Are there any performance reports for FreeBSD? Especially VPN/wireguard bandwidth would be interesting.

dsl (Dmitry) is the main developer behind the DPAA2 drivers for FreeBSD and he's done a fantastic effort so far. Myself and Bjoern (bz) have also written bits of it.

The performance has improved compared to how it was a year ago (e.g struggling to get 400mbps throughput) but there are some severe issues in -CURRENT :( I believe dsl is trying to get them fixed by 14.0-RELEASE.
