YES，the result is affected by the request size, we can reach 10-40%.

It can do zero copy > and recently-ish Pavel optimized it quite a bit. First, AF_XDP is also zero-copy. We also use XDP for a few things. And this was all about two years ago, so we have to say something about io-uring two years ago. As far as I know, io-uring still use kernel udp stack, AF_XDP can skip all kernel stack directly to driver. So here, io-ring does not have too much advantage.
