You should probably ask this on netdev (netdev@xxxxxxxxxxx). However, I've seen the code and I know the quality of Jamal and Alexeys work, I would suspect that Linux will not ever be your bottleneck. Lots of places use hashtables to speed up processing. I got mail from a guy who did really incredible things with Linux and shaping, also with hundreds of interfaces.
