I just tried that:

https://n0.aei.uni-hannover.de/wiki/index.php/NetworkTestNetperf3

It seems that the numbers do get better (sweet-spot seems to be MTU6000 
with 914 MBit/s and 927 MBit/s), however for other settings the results 
vary a lot so I'm not sure how large the statistical fluctuations are.

Next test I'll try if it makes sense to enlarge the ring buffers.

Thanks

Carsten
