Re: Route cache performance

[Robert Olsson <Robert.Olsson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

This thread seems familar :)

I think Simon uses UP and it could be idea to check if the RCU deferred 
deletion causes the problem. 

Simon it would be interesting to see if the patch below makes any 
difference given the assumption about UP was correct,

Cheers.
