Iirc, Van didn't show performance numbers but rather cpu utilization numbers. And those went down significantly without changing the userspace interface. Did you look at cpu utilization as well? If you did and your numbers are worse than Vans, he either did something smarter than you or forged his numbers (quite unlikely).
