I tested the speed and seems very low (both old version and the new one). Something like 37Mbits/s. It is normal? I can easily get 80Mbit/s on the same machine on ethernet.
How are you receiving packets on the dummy device for performance testing? This device is a transmit blackhole and receives no packets :-) I really don't see a real need for your patch, dummy device performance cannot be claimed to be important at all.
