actually my point is first to see how good or bad are the defaults.

I have noticed that setting hw.ixgbe.max_interrupt_rate=0
(it is a tunable, you need to do it before loading the module)
improves the throughput by a fair amount (but still way below
line rate with 1500 byte packets).

other things (larger windows) don't seem to help much.
