Adding 200 records in iptables took 6.0sec in 2.6.30-rc1 compared to
0.2sec in 2.6.29. I've bisected down this commit.

There are a few patches on top of the original patch. When I reverted the
original commit + changing rcu_read() to rcu_read_bh(), it speeds up the
inserts back to .2sec again.

I'm loading all the firewall rules during boot-up and this 6 secs slowness
is really not very nice to wait for.

The performance benefit during operation is more important. The load
time is fixable. The problem is probably generic to any set of rules,
but could you post some info about your configuration (like the rule
set), and the system configuration (# of cpu's, config etc).
