Really ? that seems unlikely with your one flow test, unless you _also_
have hardware IRQS hitting all your cpus. (That would be very bad)

If you test with one flow, RPS brings nothing at all. Better handle the
packet directly from the cpu handling the hardware IRQ (and NAPI)
You better make sure hardware IRQ are on one cpu, instead of many cpus.
