[Pandora] offtopic: libpcap performance

[uaca]

Hi Simon

just for curious...

do you know docs/whatever good info about packet capturing using libpcap
with different platforms?

by the way I found lipcap-0.7 has to make an extra syscall for each packet
in order to get it's timestamp...

That is: one packet -> 2 syscalls

I think libpcap with *BSD just makes one syscall for sevaral packets with 
timestamps
