Thanks Ray. Yes, in startup.conf I set:

dpdk {
  dev 0000:00:08.0
    uio-driver uio_pci_generic
}

And this is the output of 'show run' though to be honest I'm not very familiar 
with it yet:

Hi Miguel,

If you are using DPDK - it would be my expectation yes.
Can you do a 'show run' in vppctl to see where time is being spent.
