For ESP-null, there's actually very little work to do - we just
need to add the 8 byte ESP header with an spi and a seq#.. no
crypto work to do.. so the overhead *should* be minimal, else
we've painted ourself into a corner where we can't touch anything
including TCP options like md5.

Something of a longshot, but are you sure you are still getting effective CKO/GRO on the receiver?
