Beyond the '-b 0' argument, as noted by Jason, you need to do manual CPU 
pinning of both the sender and the receiver. Additionally, to really 
flood the receiver you likely have to place the sender on a different host.

In any case, given all the prior discussion, I don't intend to block 
this patch.

Paolo
