Thanks for your answer.
I have Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1220 v3 @ 3.10GHz inside - no HT on it.
And I already have CPU microcode installed:
dpkg -l | grep microcode
ii amd64-microcode 3.20160316.3 amd64 Processor microcode firmware for AMD CPUs
ii intel-microcode 3.20180807a.1~deb9u1 amd64 Processor microcode firmware for Intel CPUs
Do you think removing it would help?
you surely don't need amd64-microcode, you can try uninstalling
intel-microcode to see if it helps.
I think there are some option to disable spectre/meltdown mitigation in the
kernel, just haven't found them yet... you can try to search for them
Also I have Broadcom network adapters - if it is important:
should not be.

I have two Debian boxes acting as a routesr (+iptables +quagga(BGP)). I have updated one from Debian 7 to Debian 9 recently and now experience 2x CPU utilization on the same amounts of traffic, e.g. on normal load of 1Gbps (real-world traffic) Debian 7 had 5-6% and Debian 9 has 10-12% softirq CPU time. This behaviour can also be observed during tests - 6Gbps iperf gets 3% on Debian 7 and 6% on Debian 9.
I compared ethtool -k outputs on both boxes and they are pretty similar. Syslog doesn't show anything suspicious.
Did anyone have the similar issue? Or can give me some advice on troubleshooting?
we have noticed something similar due to the spectre/meltdown updates.
Turning off HT cpus did help much.
not installing the CPU microcode should help too.
