You can see that the load from WireGuard encryption is about 42-43% per each
core. But the thing is, one of them (the 1st) also gets to process interrupt
load from the NIC, and that consumes the rest of it, causing the bottleneck. In
theory, if you could limit WG to run encryption on all cores EXCEPT the first
one, then maaaaybe...
