   I can imagine a NAT setup with application level "helpers" which are being   
   helpful even when not needed.  For some reason (design, implementation,   
   purpose or configuration, take your pick) packets are going through the slow   
   path and being rewritten, rather than through the fast path left alone.

     Real programmers are secure enough to write readable code,
