--- Comment #4 from Lutz Donnerhacke <don...@freebsd.org> ---
I went through the source code and can drill the problem down to an full scan
of an unsorted linked list in a given hash bucket. This eats CPU cycles for
breakfast.
A workaround is to increase the hash table size in
sys/netinet/libalias/alias_local.h:
#define LINK_TABLE_OUT_SIZE 4001
A short term solution is to make the hard coded parameters tunable.
But the real solution is to find a data structure which allows sub linear
access methods to the flow data. Possibly using a non blocking algorithm for
access and modification.
