Should matter little either way.
I agree it's not likely to matter significantly. In a VM environment, though, it could conceivably be routing traffic between other VM guests, and the nature of their locality could easily result in higher traffic flows than you'd ever see running across a wire. Depends on the use case, I imagine. -- :wq
