Is your e100 driver having NAPI support?
What's the cache size of your cache system? Do you make use of smart
coherency access? What about prefetch's?

What's the throughput(and overhead) of your application on the loopback device?

Good question. IMHO, every manufacturer should advertise these values.
Shouldn't they be proud of them?
