I just rerun the test. The 85% CPU usage was with 1700pps and 44% with 
1500pps. The wireless channel does not provide the same performance all 
the time and I did not pay attention to the packet rate.

Without the allocation patch and 1500pps the CPU usage is 56%. But 10% 
less is still quite nice.
