The following does similarly to what the OP described. I've experienced lost traps on Linux, causing the server script to never leave the loop. On the Mac, it takes 3.822 seconds to process 10,000 traps when successful.

use strict;
use warnings;
use threads;
use threads::shared;

use Time::HiRes qw( sleep time );
use Net::SNMPTrapd;
use MCE::Flow;
use MCE::Queue;

my $tid = 0;

sub CLONE {
    $tid = threads->tid();
}

my $snmptrapd = Net::SNMPTrapd->new( ReusePort => 1 );
my $max_workers = 30;
my $count : shared = 0;
my $start : shared;

MCE::Flow::init {
    user_output => sub { print {*STDOUT} $_[0]; },
    user_error  => sub { print {*STDERR} $_[0]; },
};

mce_flow { max_workers => $max_workers }, \&server;

printf {*STDERR} "duration: %0.03f seconds\n", time - $start;

exit(0);

sub server {
    my $done = 0;

    while ( 1 ) {
        my $trap;

        {
            lock $count;
            $start = time unless $start;
            $trap  = $snmptrapd->get_trap();
            $done  = 1 if ( ++$count > 10000 - $max_workers );
        }

        if ( !defined $trap ) {
            MCE->printf(\*STDERR, "$0: %s\n", Net::SNMPTrapd->error())
+;
            next;
        }
        elsif ( $trap == 0 ) {
            next;
        }

        $trap->process_trap();

        MCE->printf( "[%02d] %s\t%i\t%i\t%s\n",
          $tid, $trap->remoteaddr, $trap->remoteport,
          $trap->version, $trap->community );

        last if $done;

        sleep 0.004;
    }
}
