Advantage of a hardware firewall over a software firewall

What would be some advantages of having a dedicated hardware firewall vs. running something like IP tables on the same machine doing the actual hosting?
 
Off loading services from a hosting box is always a good idea. First, IPTables will eat some performance, although that could be negligable. Second, the less you run on your firewall the better chance you have of it staying unrooted.
