Yes, about all this stuff is run in softirq. QOS can be a problem if
high resolution kernel time services are expensive on this platform.
You could try a raw routing stuff, with no QOS / iptables, just to see
how much packets can be received/sent by this unit.
And if it stills sucks, just do an input test only, dropping packets
immediately with "iptables -I INPUT -i name -j DROP" (to check how many
packets/second can be received by the driver)
