I was asking about RPS because with your current series RPS processing
is forced into threads. IDK how well you can simulate the kind of
workload which requires RPS. I've seen it used mostly on proxyies
and gateways. For proxies Meta's experiments with threaded NAPI show
regressions across the board. So "force-threading" RPS will most likely
also cause regressions.
