It helps if you realize that BIG-IP 9.0 was essentially a from-scratch rewrite of BIG-IP 4.5. Among other major redesigns, the data plane was moved from BSD kernel space to Linux user space. Internally, the joke was that it would be two times better when we were done (4.5 * 2 = 9.0). It probably was, but not on day zero.

On day sixty it couldn’t do SSL termination and cookie based traffic shaping didn’t work.
I was a little bummed it was “just” a Linux box but that’s pretty common today. I hadn’t discovered dd-wrt yet and wouldn’t for a few years.
