	I imagine this is because locale or remote oneway calls are really
rather asynchronus ;-) as soon a you send a number of them, so as to
fill the socket buffer; we form a queue that is subsequently emptied
when more space in the socket buffer becomes available - I guess that
discontinuity may cause the jitter; do you notice a step effect in
throughput / latency as you increase emission frequency ?
