i too am currently looking into natd - it seems to eat more cpu as the
number of connections it handles goes uip - not just the throughput.

 - i'm not an expert but truss, strace and grof show that most of the time
is spent in sendto() ...

   ...  i find this odd becuase recvfrom seems not to be so intensive.

 ps - can anyone tell me if the following assumption is correct:

        * if gprof, strace, etc show most of the time spent in sendto()
                then it immediately follows that this is what is using CPU time?


        * i know its a bit off topic but i could make a syscall which simpy sleeps,
                so shows up as taking time but isn;t doing much really?

am i right?
