I'm happy to report that after appropriate tuning of the tests, the new API seems to perform as well as the old for basic thruput/latency tests. Detailed results attached.

The main change since my previous mail on the subject was to disable setting sequence number and timestamp properties and compare results with a reliable receiver - all fair changes since they are equivalent to what perftest does.

There is one mystery with the new api: an unreliable sender is _slower_ than reliable sender. As far as I can see by inspection and profiling, an unreliable sender does strictly less work than reliable one so this puzzles me. If anyone has a theory I'd love to hear it!

Have you isolated that it is actually the sender that is slower, or is it that overall throughput is slower when unreliably sending?

If it is the latter it doesn't seem entirely implausible since overall throughput is generally gated by consumption, which means a more efficient producer (i.e. the unreliable one) might actually result in slower overall throughput because it simply ends up filling the queue more quickly.
