Were those measured with confidence intervals enabled?  It would be a 
Good Idea (tm) to either use that - I would suggest -I 99,1 -i 30,3 
added to the global portion of the netperf command line - or take 
several runs.  (If you've not already done so since those look more like 
"raw" netperf numbers rather than theaverage of several runs)

happy benchmarking,
