That rtt time is awful. I know the notification suppression heuristic
in qemu sucks.
I could dig through the code, but I'll ask directly: what heuristic do
you use for notification prevention in your venet_tap driver?
As you point out, 350-450 is possible, which is still bad, and it's at least
partially caused by the exit to userspace and two system calls. If virtio_net
had a backend in the kernel, we'd be able to compare numbers properly.

At some point, the copying will hurt you. This is fairly easy to avoid on
xmit tho.
Cheers,
Rusty.
