netperf/netserver latency results are pretty good for message size
between 1 bytes and 512 bytes when I have 64 bytes small copy.

However if I don't have any small copy , the ping RTT time is
unreasonable huge. Since we think it's better to have small message with
copy, so there will be no issue.

Thanks
Shirley
