it more difficult than I expected.
for one, the kernel date was missleading, the actual source update is the key, 
so
the window of changes is now 28/July to 19/August. I have the diffs, but nothing
yet seems relevant.

on the other hand, I tried NFS/TCP, and there things seem ok, ie the 'good' and the 'bad' give the same throughput, which seem to point to UDP changes ...

Can you post the network-numbers?
so I ran some more test, these are for writes IO:

OK, so it looks like this was almost certainly the rwlock change. What happens if you pretty much universally substitute the following in udp_usrreq.c:

Currently               Change to
---------               ---------
INP_RLOCK               INP_WLOCK
INP_RUNLOCK             INP_WUNLOCK
INP_RLOCK_ASSERT        INP_WLOCK_ASSERT
