Poor high-PPS performance of the 10G ixgbe(9) NIC/driver in FreeBSD 10.1

[Maxim Sobolev]

Thanks, we'll try that as well. We have not got as much traffic in the past
2 days, so we were running at about 140Kpps, well below the level that used
to cause issues before. I'll try to redistribute traffic tomorrow so that
we get it tested.
