"static" or "dynamic" routing doesn't have any influence on forwarding
performance (unless you have major churn and the router spends too many
cycles on rebuilding the FIB).

64byte is worst-case performance.  So for larger packets, the performance
is better.

1500 byte is *maximum* frame size.  On a normal network, the *average*
packet size will be much lower - think of TCP transfers: 1500 byte in
one direction, and 40 byte ACKs (padded to 64) in the other direction.
