Juniper SRX100 Traceoptions Performance

I have a 50Mbit Internet connection here at home and I’m having a Juniper SRX100 routing it. I just noted that I did not remember to remove the traceoptions configuration and it was affecting the performance on the SRX100. Here is the quick summary and comparison:

With the following traceoptions:

[edit]
admin@srx100# show security flow
traceoptions {
    file flowtrace;
    flag basic-datapath;
}
aging {
    early-ageout 30;
    low-watermark 80;
    high-watermark 90;
}

FTP performance: 104,857,600 2.08M/s   in 48s

With traceoptions deactivated:

[edit]
admin@srx100# show security flow
inactive: traceoptions {
    file flowtrace;
    flag basic-datapath;
}
aging {
    early-ageout 30;
    low-watermark 80;
    high-watermark 90;
}

FTP performance: 104,857,600 4.11M/s   in 27s

Junos version: 11.4R1.6
