  Perl is slow.  Very, very, slow.

a) send it fewer packets per second

b) make it do less work per-packet

  Those are your two choices.

  So I'll echo Adam's comment.. what are you doing with those packets?

  As an explanation, if you put user entries into the "users" file, the server will happily authentication 20K packets/s on a single CPU.

  So any *higher* CPU usage is something you did to your local configuration.
