John,
Like the 3DES algorithm is 168-bit whereas DES is 56-bit, what makes
it more secure than DES, Diffie-Hellman Group 2 is 1024-bit whereas
Group 1 is 768-bit. If you choose Group 1 you will have a less secure
encryption but it will require less processing power thus making it
faster.
There is also Group 5 (1536-bit).
