On my 4.11 Soekris 4501 box, the test shows about 70x for gcc -O2 and 40x for gcc -O. As these are worst-case figures, it would be interesting to see how CPU usage is impacted for forwarding high packet rates. My feeling is that this difference would be lost in the noise of branches, memory accesses and fielding interrupts, but it would be interesting to measure. David.
