I'll use again hwpmc and LOCK_PROFILING to see what's going on.
And will try the same benchmark on quad core processor as now
numbers of cores/cpus matter :)
Here are promised results - http://89.186.204.158/lock_profiling-8.txt
Finally I got pmcstat working - http://89.186.204.158/hwpmc-p4.txt
The stats are gathered during 600kpp incoming.
I think that syncache or what calls MD5Transform is not SMP able, and
that's why outgoing 250kpps is the limit that I can't beat.
It looks like the syncache is using most of the CPU time. However you
are not hitting problems caused by lack of concurrency there. It does
do a *lot* of work with the syncache mutex held (including generation of
the cookie, which involves MD5) so it might be an issue in the future,
but there are other bottlenecks in the way before that is your main
issue. Things may be different with more CPUs.
Did you compare to what happens to performance when the syncache is
disabled?
