Throughput on a single TCP flow for a 40G NIC can be tricky to tune.

Make sure IRQ are properly setup/balanced, as I know that IRQ names were
changed recently and your scripts might have not noticed...

Also "ethtool -c eth0" might show very different interrupt coalescing
params ?

I too have a Mellanox 40Gb in my lab and saw no difference in
performance with recent kernels.

Of course, a simple "perf record -a -g sleep 4 ; perf report" might
point to some obvious issue. Like unexpected segmentation in case of
forwarding...
