I'm not sure, but I think matching a u32 filter is based on a tree-like
structure. The fw filter can be faster on the filter part if you use the
mark as minor number. But you still have a lot of iptables rules to test.
And I think you have to test them 1 by 1.
So I think the fw filter will be slower.
