Weird.  That's the very first thing I tried but for me it goes
the other way.

With TSO/GSO:

Throughput 169.19 MB/sec 1 procs

Without:

Throughput 24.0079 MB/sec 1 procs

Note that I only disabled TSO/GSO using ethtool:

etch1:~# ethtool -k lo
Offload parameters for lo:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off
etch1:~# 

Can you see if reverting the patch but using ethtool gives you the
same results?

PS I'm using FV Xen.

Thanks,
