As of now, the EthernetHandle fd is kept in the blocking mode. Which means when capturing traffic, entire OS thread is blocked in recvmsg syscall most of the time. It's possible to use custom fds (i.e. not created by net package) with the runtime poller, so using them will be as efficient as it is with e.g. TCP sockets. This commit does exactly that.
