It is scheduled to be fixed (again) in 4.2.6.

Here is the original problem from March 2010. It's not a good thing that this was fixed a year ago and is still around in newer builds of the 4.2 branch.

The reason for this appears to be the IPS engine. Disabling IPS on a firewall rule restores normal speed, however you lose IPS functionality which is of course not desirable.
