I guess, I misunderstood your intention; it looks like there are some
slowdowns in route cache handling vs. 2.6.28, which probably could be
partly tuned up with config parameters or fixed with some patch, but
it needs more testing/debugging, including additional data from 2.6.28
for comparison (I'm not sure if you're using this kernel yet).

But if you think turning off route cache works better for you (btw,
2.6.29.6 lacks at least 2 patches fixing this which 2.6.30.1 has) then
of course we can stop this thread, no problem.
