Mbuf clusters can be used in multiple mbuf chains at the same time, but I don't see how you could do that with mbufs. You probably should focus your optimization efforts elsewhere, because changing the mbuf api would make your code diverge too much from the standard FreeBSD kernel to be useful to anyone.
