Well, at least you won't be breaking DNS which is a good start.  It is
hard to say if it will or won't speed things up but it is an easy (and
correct) thing to do anyway.

do but you may not want to do that, you need to make that call yourself.
You did lead with something that sounded like "ipf is slowing my gmail"

If you can it may be helpful to post a sanitised version of your
ipf.conf (obscure ip addresses and other identifying info) so people can
comment.
