Does this still hold true for 4.1? I'm in the same predicament --

carte blanche on hardware, need high PPS and throughput with as low

CPU usage as possible. I know there have been some signifigant chances

in the tree; but scouring interesting commit messages and grepping the

lists hasn't enlightened me much.
