I want only to take so much as possible from the HW that I have.

I am not aware of any cookbook or example project that supplies a "hardware and software design for maximum network performance using NIOS-II and software-only"
AN440 is about as good as it gets, and you probably need to work through it and do your own measurements.
From past experience, I think of all the things you are asking about (UDP vs. TCP, uCOS-II vs. superloop, Jumbo vs. not), the only one worth pursuing is UDP simply because once you are talking about UDP, you open the door to easy hardware implementation which will get you performance as +/- fast as the media will allow. Most people are interested in superloop due to uCOS-II licensing fees that must be paid.
Good luck.
