The first patch gives a slight degradation, but opens the opportunity to using a simple page-cache mechanism of a fair size. The page-cache, implemented in patch 3, not only closes the performance gap but even gives a gain. In patch 2 we re-organize the code to better manage the calls for alloc/de-alloc pages in the RX flow.
