Not of that sort. We expect load to increase
linearly until some point, not with jumps. This is
for normal setup. If testing with client on LAN from
small number of machines it is possible test to be
influenced from limit in client ports or other kind
of problems. It is possible with 'perf top' to
catch if some place popups in stats on high load.
Note that 3.10 comes with some optimizations
to reduce routing/dst refcnt usage and also switching
to RCU. There should be some gain from this, if using
SMP.
