 It was quite some time since I saw dst cache overflow and we use 2.6 
 in infrastructure. Anyway I was able to "tune" route cache so I see
 in our lab system on a SMP box. I think UP and SMP behaves the same 
 but with UP we could disable the deferred delete as Simon tested.

 I don't know if anything happen in 2.6.9 I don't think so. But any
 improvement in drivers or FIB lookup may increase the burden so we get
 overflows.

 We had some code that checked the RCU latency. 
  
 Cheers.
