Is this with or without IPv6 configured (thus, RAs) on the home gateway ?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this could be one of the cases
where the WiFi chipset is IPv4-smart and IPv6-unsmart, therefore
requiring the CPU for anything IPv6 related..

Did you have a chance to further narrow down the root cause of this ?
