Note, I could hit 4-500Kpps on a bcom sb1250 800Mhz; trying to simulate
Andis gettimeofday changes (which are in 2.6 since i havent seen a 2.6
port for that board ) gives another 100Kpps. Theres still room for
improvement just havent had time.
You are right though it could be a 2.6.x arch specific issue. Bacchus?
