Sure, I can run the comparison benchmarks. The performance difference correlates with the number of inline functions. Petri is currently working on a patch set, which inlines a large set of commonly used packet functions. It’s probably best to wait until his patch set is ready (probably tomorrow?) before running the tests. -Matias
