yes... "top" should tell you how much time you spend in kernel space,
though, and that could be an indication.

fast_forwarding helps in the sense that it bypasses the queue and
calls directly ip_input at interrupt time. The fact that it also
uses a cache for routes is only an optimization.
I am not sure how bad would it be to add code for full route lookups
in ipflow_fastforwarding, i might try and have a look at this
in a week or two once i am done with some (partly related)
work i am doing.

probably not much, i guess it is just an additional entry in a
switch() statement...
