That sounds pretty similar to what ip_squeue_fanout does for Solaris10 - and 
using it made a noticable performance improvement:


ip_squeue_fanout

Description
    Determines the mode of associating TCP/IP connections with squeues
    A value of 0 associates a new TCP/IP connection with the CPU that creates 
the connection. A value of 1 associates the connection with multiple squeues 
that belong to different CPUs. The number of squeues that are used to fanout 
the connection is based upon ip_soft_rings_cnt.

"Is rss enabled?"  Not sure what you're asking here...

RSS is receive-side scaling, which apparently helps improve performance:

I actually just learned about it the other day talking to a 10 GbE NIC vendor.  
He asked me that question about another user that had posted different results 
(but still on Solaris), and so I thought I'd ask you.  Upon further research, 
it appears to be a Microsoft-only thing.

So, never mind! ;)
