+Subject: [PATCH] net: disable GRO by default
+MIME-Version: 1.0

+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+In many cases GRO improves network performance however it comes at a
+cost of chacksums calculations. In case of slow CPU and missing hardware
+csum calculation support GRO can actually decrease network speed.
+
+On BCM4708 *disabling* GRO results in following NAT masquarade speed
+changes:
+1. 364 Mb/s → 396 Mb/s (packet steering disabled)
+2. 341 Mb/s → 566 Mb/s (packet steering enabled)
