Batching packets bring several benefits: - amortizing cache misses are you mentioned
- better use of out-of-order, superscalar processors: by processing multiple independent packets in parallel, the processor can fill more execution units
- enable the use of vector instructions (SSE/AVX, VMX etc): again, processing multiple independent packets in parallel means you can leverage SIMD. SIMD instructions are used pervasively in VPP
