We're happy with cold, raw ASCII numbers :)

NAPI is doing it's job which is keeping a system responsive under extreme
loads very well.  The pre-NAPI behaviour was simply locking up thus making
systems easily DOS-able.  NAPI is not meant to improve latency; it isn't
meant but frequently mistaken to.
