Ummm...

Whilst cpu utilization is interesting, I might be mainly interested in
how this effects "networking" performance. I find it very surprising
that it isn't obvious that this is what I wanted.

Do you not do performance testing on the networking level when you
make fundamental changes to how packets are processed by the
hardware/driver?
