Zyxel GS1900-8 throughput low

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi guys:

I use zyxel gs1900-8 (RTL8380M) as a bridge firewall with openwrt 22.03.2.
But when I copy file between vlan , the bandwidth maxmium about 20Mb/s.
I use top command and found cpu high .

    8     2 root     RW       0   0%  78% [ksoftirqd/0]
  865     2 root     IW       0   0%  14% [kworker/0:2-eve]

and kernel eth0 interrupts increase rapidly.

root@OpenWrt:/# cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0

 31:     158991  realtek-rtl-intc  31  ttyS0
ERR:          1

Is RTL8380M chip performance poor ?

This is a switch, not a firewall or router. So yes: the performance of the SoC is poor, as it is only meant for management/configuration purposes.
