If you set those per-queue MSIX interrupt affinity to different cpus, then performance would be much better 
and linear scaling is expected. But in order to do apple-to-apple performance comparison against 1 queue case 
on single core, by default all interrupts are handled by one core, say core0, so lots of context switch impacts 
performance I think.
