Thanks so much for sharing these initial results! Do you have similar
measurements for ~9000 byte packets in unaligned mode? We typically
receive packets larger than 8192 bytes.

You made me chuckle ;-) Any measurements people can provide are
helpful, even if they must be taken with a grain of salt. ;-). How
much of your test suite can be upstreamed in the future? My assumption
was the difference should be measurable, at least you have confirmed
that. :-)
