Is this a Program -> CPU interaction that is slowing things down, or is this a CPU -> network interaction.
I'm wondering if there are classes of network drivers that are having a much larger effect in performance. Network cards these days can do many things to improve performance like TCP/UDP offloading and because of that their drivers are very complex and I'm going to assume that there well be Meltdown fallout because of this.
Before giving figures, I want to run the same tests on a more recent CPU, but my current benchmarks are not great to say the least.
