Add a new TS_EXPERIMENTAL_ENABLE_FORWARDING_OPTIMIZATIONS env var that can be set for tailscale/tailscale container running as a subnet router or exit node to enable UDP GRO forwarding for improved performance. See https://tailscale.com/kb/1320/performance-best-practices#linux-optimizations-for-subnet-routers-and-exit-nodes This is currently considered an experimental approach; the configuration support is partially to allow further experimentation with containerized environments to evaluate the performance improvements.
