If you were on FB, the TBW page would be a great venue. ;-)

You might ask Normis about that :) It has nothing to do with fastpath, and 
isn't scheduled to be fixed until 7.x when many features are rewritten to 
take advantage of multiple tile cores. 

Currently each port is pinned to a single cpu (affinity) due to latency and 
performance reasons - but yes there are drawbacks when your per core clock 
is still in 1GHz territory. 

If you want to talk more about this, we can discuss.offlist or on the 
Mikrotik forum.
