Bridging ports and performance.

Hello,
I have a Qotom firewall that has 6 ethernet ports but its not a switch.
I read that I can bridge them to use them as regular ports, but the performance will suffer.
The question is, how much using them will hurt?
The firewall has a Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 3865U @ 1.80GHz (2 cores, 2 threads) with 4 GBs ram and my usage is very basic.
I rarely do big transfers and dont have much running on the firewall itself besides Wireguard.
So how bad would it be if I bridge all ports?
Thanks in advance.

Just try it out and see how it works for you, and if it doesnt roll back.
Use the new Snapshots feature to quickly roll back on demand.
