Oh, but you do add an extra hop. The fact that no IP protocol is aware of that does
not change the fact that you now require all your traffic to be directed through
your box. The box still acts as a router (actually, a bridge, but same difference),
and the performance penalties are still being payed (though I have to admit that
it's probably less of a penalty).

Actually, I'll stick with forcing everyone to move to an explicit proxy by means of
filtering.
I do have access to the router.
