Aha, ok, I didn't there was that much to be gained in serial performance.

The FreeNet guys upgraded our sector to AC last week, so I switched to a PowerBeam AC (wrecked my legs straddling the peak of a 45 degree roof for half a day). Anyway, I would also like if my ER-X (32-bit mips) had some more headroom to run something codel-like. It can do it, but it starts to struggle. Mine is currently an htb+cake setup.

I thought there was already some discussion about that wrt lockless qdisc support, which doesn’t mean adding more queues, or multiple qdisc instances, does it? Perhaps my understanding of what that does and use of the term “smp” was loose...
