I've pasted the results here + I've creared graphs based on the figures:

http://www.zeromq.org/results:copying

What's missing is the environment description:

1. What version of 0MQ have you used (beta2?, trunk - if so, which 
version? there have been some zero-copy related fixes since beta2).
2. What OS, what networking stack (SDP?, OFED version etc.), what 
hardware (CPUs, IB NICs, switches etc.)

Thanks!
Martin
