One small and unfortunate thought just occurred to me: the backporting
to really old kernels I'm pretty sure is way less efficient than newer
kernels on the RX, due to some missing core fast-path APIs in the old
kernels. In particular, I had to wrap the UDP layer with some nasty
hacks to get packets out, whereas newer kernels have an elegant API
for that which integrates in the right place. Just a thought... I
haven't actually done concrete measurements though.
