Hi Adrian,

I haven't had the chance to look this over carefully yet as we're at BSDCan=
. I think I understand what you're trying to achieve by aligning the per-CP=
U timer processing per core. In principal that sounds reasonable, although =
I am unsure if you were trying to solve a particular performance issue with=
 this particular change. My sense is this is all preparatory with the goal =
of all inp processing to become per core. Could you comment on the general =
evolution you're considering? Do most of the PCB structures become per-core=
, as in PCB groups?

If you'd like us to test this change, I'm happy to do so. At the moment I d=
on't know if we'd expect to see any benefit - do you have any traffic condi=
tions for which this showed any difference? But we can certainly drive many=
 hundreds of thousands of connections at reasonably high connection rates i=
f that will help.

Thanks,
Mike
