I suspect it may be related to the RRB allocation.  The driver used to be
even slower until I made it use a second RRB by using the BRIDGE virtual
device feature.

Obviously all the funky RRB stuff of the BRIDGE has no public documentation.
However the SN1 / SN2 bits in the kernel tree should be rather close.
