Interesting result.  Which versions of sudo and ip and with how many 
interfaces on the system?

For consistency's sake (however foolish it may be) and purposes of 
others being able to reproduce results and all that, stating the number 
of interfaces on the system and versions and such would be a Good Thing.

happy benchmarking,
