as a starter, could you boot the sched-devel.git kernel, with
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y and CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS=y enabled and could you run
this script while the iperf test is in the middle of its testrun:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/tools/cfs-debug-info.sh
this will gather a good deal of info about the workload in question.
Please send me the resulting debug file.
