As others have suggested, the switch is not likely to be the
bottleneck here -- unless it has (and you're using) any Layer 3
functionality, maybe.
Also, that 650Mbps is only with the SSM-40; if you have the SSM-20,
it's rated for 500Mbps.
How's the CPU load (e.g., `show cpu`) sitting on the ASA? I know
things get ugly on the 5520 when the CPU gets up to maybe 60% (which
happens pretty easily when someone leaves a capture running) -- my
kneejerk reaction is to check that if you're having problems.
Clearly this is still on-topic, as the ASA runs Linux under-the-hood. ;-)
