   Interesting.

   a) I don't know how efficient the bzero() is (inline? #idef KERNEL?)
      over a statementwise zeroing of a 20 byte structure and why this.

It's just not something you do in a time critical path.

   b) Could you elaborate to a mundane how TCP latency is defined?
      I know the term 'interrupt latency' being defined as the time
      from the occurence of an interrupt to the first statement
      serving the interrupt.

Check out lat_tcp.c from lmbench for one perspective on how this can
be defined.
