Finally, many (most?) APs are forwarding and feeding packets at at the hardware level so not sure that the linux stack matters as much for an AP based analysis, particularly when considering multi user transmissions, i.e. multiple WiFi clients are active and sharing TXOPs.
APs forward packets within the switch at the hardware level, but the radios have to go through the CPU, so any wired <-> wireless needs to go through the CPU, and I would be incredibly surprised if the wifi chips did wireless <-> wireless routing at the hardware level.
