Hello,

 

I suggest you to read this document: http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/2765/fortigate-ha-54.pdf

 

Here you have an extract:

"By default, active- active HA load balancing distributes proxy- based security profile processing to all cluster units. Proxy- based security profile processing is CPU and memory- intensive, so FGCP load balancing may result in higher throughput because resource- intensive processing is distributed among all cluster units."

 

I hope this information will help you.

 

Regards,
