The ASCII graphic was messed up. However, I'm assuming you are sending a 
message from process 1 to process 2 which then forwards it to process 3.

What exactly are you measuring?

The loop which has to do both send and recv is obviously going to work 
at half speed when compared to loop that does just recv. Can that be the 
problem you are seeing?
