Hi Stefan,

Interesting finding indeed, looks like the author has only tested on
Xen-4.4 and the EC2 instance type that we use report Xen-3.4 as the
logline below shows:

Xen version: 3.4.3.amazon (preserve-AD)

I'm using a common S3 url in my test cases and the results are the same
either using curl or ab to measure the download speed. I've used iperf
and netperf between two of our instances and got similar results, the
difference is that using the S3 url is noticeable.

What is also interesting is that despite the fact that Lucid (with
kernel 3.8.11) instance shows GRO as enabled it may not actually use GRO
at all since the GRO API was only introduced on 3.13 and that could mean
the processing impact will remain the same in both instances, I will try
to measure this and will report but in the meanwhile let me know if is
there anything I can mesure that may help to identify the issue.

Thanks,
Rodrigo.
