Converting pktgen over to ktime_t might be a nice cleanup.
Would that really solve it? i.e doesnt it still tie to what the clock
source is?

I had a friend of mine (Robert, you know Jeremy) and results are
slightly different from what Evginy found.

The summary is: Batching always is better, jiffies is always the better
clock source (and who would have thunk,eh? Opteron kicks a Xeons ass).
Attached results.

Evgeniy, did you sync on the batching case with the git tree?
Can you describe your hardware in /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/interupts?

cheers,
jamal
