Looking at timestamped output of netdev CI reveals that most of the time in forwarding tests for custom route hashing is spent on a single case, namely the test which uses ping (mausezahn does not support flow labels). On a non-debug kernel we spend 714 of 730 total test runtime (97%) on this test case. While having flow label support in a traffic gen tool / mausezahn would be best, we can significantly speed up the loop by putting ip vrf exec outside of the iteration. In a test of 1000 pings using a normal loop takes 50 seconds to finish. While using: ip vrf exec $vrf sh -c "$loop-body" takes 12 seconds (1/4 of the time). Some of the slowness is likely due to our inefficient virtualization setup, but even on my laptop running "ip link help" 16k times takes 25-30 seconds, so I think it's worth optimizing even for fastest setups.
