It may be that with your traffic you end up not being able to use offloads, just thinking. Its not like the hardware just "makes it up", it interrupts on the last descriptor of a packet which has the RS bit set. With TSO you will get larger chunks of data and thus less interrupts but your traffic probably doesn't qualify for it.
