[Bloat] temporal and spacial locality

[Sebastian Moeller]

IMHO this is another example of 'batching helps to ameliorate per-batch set-up/processing costs'. The trick I would say is to size the batches in a way that they do not introduce too much latency granularity. For a server that might be a coarser granularity than for a client or a home router. My gut feeling tells me that the acceptable batch size is related to the required transmission/processing time of a batch.
In a sense cake already coarsely takes this into account when disabling GSO splitting at >= 1 Gbps rates. Maybe we could also scale the quantum more aggressively, but it is a tradeoff....
