[Click] Running Kernel Module and user level Click at the same time

Hi all,

Has anyone run kernel module click and user level click at the same time 
to off-load certain cpu high-intensive or slower elements to the user 
level click ? I'm thinking to run module click on one processor with 
--enable-greedy and run user-level click on another processor. Is this 
even a "runable" option?

Specifically I want to divert all flows to certain host(s) through a 
Snoop TCP / Intermediate TCP  like element. This element buffers packets 
and responds to tcp acks from wireless hosts. This element can get a bit 
slow and I'm hoping offloading these flows to user-level click via 
ToHostSniffers might incease packet flow through the kernel module click.
How fast is ToHost/ToHostSniffers ?

Any thoughts on this ?
