[Click] Click CPU load

[Nicola Arnoldi]

Results are the same with the Asus as an intermediate point.

Tx PC -> ASUS -> Rx PC

There should be a bug somewhere, 'cause the Meraki Network guys are 
running (and selling) roofnet on MIPS 180MHz boards with 802.11g-like 
performances.

Iperf is not a big deal, the problem is click.

Even running between two nodes (two laptops) click takes 30% cpu load on 
  1.87GHz machines.
