I share your experience. When using m0n0 1.2 on my WRAP (233MHz),
everything was fine. After I switched to 1.3, I could not even reach the
web interface when under heavy traffic (traffic was delivered in time,
though). I think this is due to FreeBSD 6 being more "hardware hungry".

Now, using an Alix board (500MHz) everything works fine with 1.3, even
when under high load.
