With the cwgen.ko packet generator set to the following range of
settings on a Compaw Presario 2200 laptop, I see the following
performance behavior on system throughput:

Interface: lo
Mode: Continuous
IP Mode: Static IP/Static Ports
Source: 127.0.0.1
Dest 127.0.0.2
Range: 16 addresses
pktsize: 1500
Interpacket Gap Time: 0 ns

runs at 217 megabytes per second throughput

There is a significant performance drop (to roughly 1/3) when large
numbers of random IP addresses are routed through the IP stack.
Utilization does not seem to vary much, but the routing throughput
drops drastically.
