the correct syscall to use is ReplyWait():
Recv(…);
while (1) {
ReplyWait(…);
}
Es per my blog: Send() and Recv() should only ever be used in initialisation
and exception handling.

so you’re using standard I/O to /dev/null
My Posix is a bit rusty, but this should be buffered in the library (i.e. most
calls will *not* result in a system call).
And, given that the output goes to /dev/null, the data may be thrown away
completely.
Basically you’re measuring the cost of a function call.
