Temperature is not likely to be a factor in the delay values.
Rock64 V2 has a known issue with Gigabit ethernet stability:

https://sanisimov.com/2019/08/fixing-rock64-v2-gigabit-ethernet/

Althought judging by description it's more like an almost complete
network lock-up and not performance degradation.

I received another board with RK3328 today and will investigate
the issue further.
