Traffic acceleration turn off

What'll happened when i'll perform "fwaccel off"? Gateway just will more slowly process  new connections?

As per sk162492 it will depend on the gateway version.

It will disable acceleration until turned back on or the gateway is rebooted, are you trying to troubleshoot something in particular?

Typically it is recommend to do this (only temporarily) out of peak times or with headroom to cater for a load increase.

If after running fwaccel off you find that whatever issue you have is solved, instead of turning of SecureXL for all traffic permanently via cpconfig, consider excluding the problematic IP address(es) from acceleration as described here:

sk104468: How to disable SecureXL for specific IP addresses

After defining this exclusion everything matching it will always go F2F/slowpath, which has the side effect of making the matched traffic fully visible if using fw monitor.

Generally you should not disable SecureXL except for troubleshooting as it will cause a pretty significant performance impact.
If disabling SecureXL solves an issue, then TAC should be involved.
Of course, since you're on an unsupported version now, you'll most likely have to upgrade to resolve the issue.
