Thanks for your tests.
Were the 8K flow in your case all for hit?
Not know why, but in my tests, 1 core case with 64B packet had notable performance gain with 8K flow.
Although performance had drop with few hash entry configured.

Command used:
./l3fwd -n 4 -c 0x80 -- -E -P --parse-ptype -p 0x3 --config="(0,0,7),(1,0,7)" --hash-entry-num=0x8000
