Yeah I agree completely. In fact, now that I have had a bit more time to think this through it seems that what they need isn't necessarily NAPI but better management of the tasklet to achieve the same level of turnaround performance as provided by NAPI + net_rx_action. I'll try to spend some time on this next week.
