I forgot to mention the bad news. The increase mentioned above was obtained
with large packets (1500 bytes) traversing our board. With very small packets
(64 bytes), we  experimented a 10% DEcrease in PPS (packets per second).
We're still testing, but I guess the overall performance will be better with
the patch installed.
