If CPU usage was small, something slept somewhere, but so far we do not
know what and where. It would be great to understand, why sendfile() is
so slow with UDP especially when mempry bandwidth is very small, and
particulary understand if it is udp sending path itself or splice code.

Sure, but please remove commented code lines instead of commenting them.
