I know that a major hit in performance on both linux and windows
platforms is the time spent in interrupt processing (mostly in
deferred or SW interrupts, not HW interrupts).
With teamed connections on linux being in user space, I would
tend to think about how user-space file-system drivers perform

This is something we need to clear up in the wiki page.
The teamd is an userspace component but it is not part of
either TX or RX paths. Therefore all the heavy traffic happens
inside of the kernel. Because of that you should see little
performance impact when comparing to using without Team
or bonding driver.
