I imagine that wouldn't be very useful, since most production traffic is encrypted (e.g. TLS) and key negotiations necessitate a per-client cipher stream.

See the work Netflix CDN has done, at high bitrates, memory bandwidth is a major bottleneck for them, eliminating the memory reads and writes to do TLS in software (user level or kernel level) allowed them to hit much higher speeds.
