I saw this in my configuration too :) Just leave your test running for 
longer time and you will see this strange inconsistency in action.
In my configuration I almost always have better throughput after reboot, 
which drops latter (5-10min under flood) with 50-60kpps and after 
another 10-15min the number of correctly passed packet increase again. 
Looks like "auto tuning" of which I'm not aware :)
