Well, what does 'vmstat 1' show - how many context switches are 
there per second on the iperf server? In theory if it's a truly 
saturated box, there shouldnt be many - just a single iperf task 
running at 100% CPU utilization or so.

(Also, if there's hrtimer support for that board then perfcounters 
could be used to profile it.)
