> I wonder how much time it really saves? Jarno said offline that disabling the decision tree stuff he wrote increases flow setup performance by roughly 5%. In the new multi threaded revalidation setup, shaving a bit off the cost of xlate_actions() will directly lead to larger datapath flow tables. I haven't measured this specific optimization personally though.
The other reason I want this, is it will make it marginally easier for people trying to experiment in the classifier with expensive megaflow optimization techniques. I could save it for when such a case actually arises, but given the 5% gain Jarno mentioned and that I know of other specific things in the pipeline, I figured I'd go for it.
