This is changing a lot of lines so it is difficult to know what is changed exactly. Please split it with a refactoring without any real change, and introduce the real change later. Then we'll be able to examine it and check the performance. We need to have more tests with more hardware in order to better understand the performance improvement. For info, a degradation is seen in Mellanox lab.
