What about pfSense [0]? It is based on m0n0wall and has some more features.
As stated in the Wiki [1], a 200 MHz system with 128 megs of RAM should suffice for up to 8 Mbps.
I run it on a WRAP (266 MHz AMD Geode CPU). On full utilization of my 20Mbps VDSL line with bittorrent (over 1000 parallel connections) and about 50 filter rules, CPU load never goes over 15%.
