Thank you, I'll try it.

I use default port ranges and get best results with command like this:

cpuset -l 0-7 wrk -t8 -c60 -d60s http://x.x.x.x/index

This way, I get 4.38GB out of 4x10G lagg (lagghash l4), that is about 36Gbps.

It seems, uneven lagg load balancing prevents it from reaching higher numbers.
I tried to increase connection number from -c60 to large values but then
unpatched wrk overhelms CPU with syscalls.
