What a lot of other people don't realise:

- There is no such thing as a 25gbps home router.

What's currently on the market is a very serious overkill ever for 10gbps.

In terms of CPU it is not totally overkill if you're using an IPS/IDS, bare in mind you'll also be disabling most of the network card offloading in a full fledged firewall and that will ultimately result in consuming slightly more CPU cycles.
