Maybe what we are seeing is general bloat in kernel execution paths
due to the growth in complexity?

It could be, and any kind of analysis into this would be great.


perhaps Rick Jones who maintains netperf could enlighten us on some historic
numbers? he usually seems to be happy to prop up new netperf numbers :)

While this is an excellent opening to talk about how netperf top-of-trunk can now emit keyword=value results easier (ostensibly) to put into a database then the regular or even CSV output formats, I cannot fully exploit it by pointing at a database of results :(
