per the iptables-restore man page
-v, --verbose
Print additional debug info during ruleset processing.
Well, if you run it with verbose mode enabled you probably don't care
about performance all that much...
And it only does anything if you're feeding in comments, which again -
is unlikely.
iptables-save produces two comment lines per table, so you're likely
to have a grand total of 8 of these lines
(if you have raw/nat/mangle/filter tables all listed), and if you feed
that in to iptables-restore -v then
you end up calling flush 8 times, which triggers 8 extra write()
syscalls - which aren't exactly expensive to begin with...
So I think this is a non issue.
(I could change it so that only "#PING" flushes, which is the actual
comment netd sends for healthchecking,
but I just don't think it matters)
