That's strange. On my bridge with 4 network interfaces,
the additional latency is always below 0.5 ms, even if
I'm pushing 400 MBit/s through the machine and a kernel
compile is running at 100% CPU. Network interfaces are
PCIe GBit from Syskonnect, the machine is an Athlon64
at 2 GHz. Even if the clock speed is halved by powersave
the additional latency will not go above 0.9 ms.
Kernel is vanilla 2.6.11.x.
