Well as said "can be painful with a slow (serial) console".  If you are triggering the printf per packet and have enough pps your console can slow things down.

The solution probably is to compile your own kernel and either have the PR problem fixed or the printf removed.   The latter can be done quickly the former needs a bit of time...
