Hi,

I use kernprof+gprof to measure the 2.2.16 kernel,
but the scale is mini-second. 
So I use do_gettimeofday( ) kernel function call to measure 
the latency. (This function support micro-second scale.)

Moreover, I use SmartBits packet generator to generate
the specific network traffic load. The environment is
as follows. However, the result are very funny. I think 
that latency should increase progressively when load
increase, but the result are unable explaining.
Could you give me some hint? Thanks a lot.

1518byte packet
load    latency(us)
1%    13.1284
10%    14.1629

40%    10.7510
50%    10.4148
60%    10.3337
70%    10.1038
80%    10.1103
90%    10.3634
100%    11.2367

* The do_gettimeofday function call is as follows:
--------------
do_gettimeofday(&begin);
...
(kernel do something)
...
do_gettimeofday(&end);
if (end.tv_usec < begin.tv_usec) {
    end.tv_usec += 1000000; end.tv_sec--;
}
end.tv_sedc -= begin.tv_sec;
end.tv_usec -= begin.tv_usec;
return ((end.tv_sec*1000000) + end.tv_usec);
