I fear the problem is rather the lack of multithreading. I have a fairly
beefy 8-core ARM box for my main router these days, and even that can't
forward at a gigabit on a single core. There was a bug in the HW
configuration so all traffic was sent to a single core, which resulted
in 50+ms of bloat and traffic capping out way short of a gigabit. Now
that it's fixed and traffic is mixed over all eight cores I have smooth
sailing and no bloat. Thankfully I don't need to shape, so I'm just
running straight mq+fq_codel on the physical interface....
