Sorry, hit send too soon.
Impact of xmit more depends on your transport.
If, for example, you are using sendmmsg on the outer side which can
consume the bulked data "as is", the impact is quite significant. If
your transport does not support bulking, the fact there was bulking
earlier in the chain has little impact.
There is some, but not a lot.
