Side comment on the netperf command line.  The maximum confidence 
interactions is silently capped at 30, so that might as well be "-i 
30,3" 
http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/tags/netperf-2.5.0/doc/netperf.html#index-g_t_002di_002c-Global-28

Also, for reproducibility, it might be desirable to pin netperf and 
netserver to a specific CPU or CPUs.  That would be with a global -T 
option:

happy benchmarking,
