Here is the big problem. How did you come to 28389 fd-items on this device? 
Guess: MAC is turned on, and smart inherit off.

Please try a rsbac_check 1 1 before next timing - it should cut down your fd 
items and thus speed up the system significantly. If not, tell me more about 
your .config and your setup.

Altogether far too many items, resulting in huge lists, which are traversed 
for every single request:
