Yes that is also my experience, in this SYN-flood scenario one CPU does
a lot better.  My old home brew AMD quad-core CPU also outperform, the
big testlab machine dual socket quad-core Nehalem.

The route cache problem, should not be too big with my SYN cookie
solution.  I think... as tcp_v4_send_synack() handles alloc of a dst
route cache, but also releases it immediately afterwards.

How do you/I measure the usec per packet?

How do I disable the route cache?

What test tools do you use?
(I have modified pktgen to send TCP SYN packets)

(ps. I'll post my updated patch series, in a bit, and then I'll try not
to disturb your work on the fully parallel solution).
