I tried this some time ago with the AceNIC Gigabit Ethernet driver
and the performance increase I originally saw totally vanished when
I applied Ingo's per-cpu slab cache patch.
Yes. But Ingo's per-cpu slab would need a bit of work before we
could include it for real.
Currently, the skbuff allocator in 2.3.x keeps it's own per-cpu cache
lists and from what we've seen it is quite effective. It won't do as
well as Ingo's per-cpu slab, but it doesn't have to problems that
per-cpu slab needs fixed either :-)
