Hi,

I didn't study the internals but maybe changing DirectOnly, Forwarding
and IndirectData will have an impact on per packet performance and speed
stability by disabling some of the meshing features?

Although it probably just hit the CPU limits again did you try
Compression 0 vs 1 vs 10?

Sorry that it's just speculation, these are just things I never got
around to investigating back when I used to have a fast NAS and
network.
