Ya, that's a weak spot. I dislike (read hate) HTML with a passion and just 
hacked the "pf homepage" together to have something. No actual maintaining 
ever since. I really have to do something about it.

That depends largely on how much (positive) feeback I get on the patches. I 
have limited testing capabilities and won't release this untested to the 
world. If I get some promising results *soon* - including successful tests on 
SMP boxes and possibly GigE NICs (just ask me to mod' the drivers if you 
can't to it yourself) - I will try to get it in before 5.3R. The import of pf 
3.5 will happen before 5.3R in any case.
