Unless you pass it the -p option. However promisc mode does not mean it
bypassses more/less network stack code. The hooks for the package capturing
are still early in the input processing, but still after all the
Interrupt/Queueing code which can potentially drop or delay packets.

However I think its a sign that it is not in the TCP path but below.
