The main savings that you're likely to see with smaller packets over Ethernet will be because of packet batching. If you can send more data in the same number of packets i.e. the same number of kernel calls, then you'll get CPU reduction. However, more messages per packet means higher latency for the first oldest messages, so it's always a trade off.
