It is the CPU utilization overhead in the 'veth' case. Compared to physical devices or macvlan, veth interfaces don't benefit from hardware offloading mechanisms: i.e. checksums have to be computed by the soft. That explains the big overhead in CPU utilization when using this kind of virtual interface.
