Tuning are same as described in my previous email (rxd|txd=2048, rx|tx
process_limit=-1, max_interrupt_rate=16000).
[root@apu2]~# sysctl hw.igb.
hw.igb.tx_process_limit: -1
hw.igb.rx_process_limit: -1
hw.igb.num_queues: 0
hw.igb.header_split: 0
hw.igb.max_interrupt_rate: 16000
hw.igb.enable_msix: 1
hw.igb.enable_aim: 1
hw.igb.txd: 2048
hw.igb.rxd: 2048


But I've did a new benchs with default setting, and the performance drop is
now about -25% :
