Hi Ben,
I added options -c -C to netperf's command line. Result is as follows:
                    scheme 1    scheme 2    Imp.
Throughput:     683M        718M       5%
CPU usage:     47.8%       45.6%

That really surprised me because "top" command showed the CPU usage
was fluctuating between 0.5% and 1.5% rather that between 45% and 50%.

How can I get the exact CPU usage?

Thanks.
