In my testing, without the KeSetTargetProcessorDpc, iperf would give
inconsistent results, which I assume is because packets were being
delivered to NDIS out of order.

KeSetImportanceDpc(HighImportance) should resolve the 15ms response time
you were seeing as the DPC will be immediately scheduled on the other
processor, rather than scheduled some time later.
