I cannot seem to reliably get lat_rpc to run - sometimes I get rpc
timeouts but the couple of times it has worked I get 61 microseconds
for RPC/tcp and 57 microseconds for RPC/udp... or numbers around that
mark.  This is running on a laptop with a 1Ghz PIII, 256Mb RAM - I was
running X at the time I ran the benchmark.

True - that is why I was careful not to overreact to your timings.
Can you post the results of lat_rpc for comparison?

True but that overhead is relatively constant in your before/after
case so the perturbation in your measurement should not be that high,
certainly not by 3 orders of magnitude which is what your numbers were
indicating.
