Hey Jason,

I'm not sure if this helps, but the 0.0.20180620 performance loss is most noticeable on the box performing "iperf3 -s".

Also, here are a couple .png CPU utilizations of the "iperf3 -s" box via htop during the iperf3 test ...

Test: 0.0.20180620



Test: 0.0.20180620 + hunk #1 from previous patch and hunk #1 from the latest patch



Lonnie
