Hi Remy,
Have a small suggestion here.
Since testpmd uses new libraries of librte_latencystats and
librte_bitratestats it hurts packet processing performance.
Many users who use testpmd to do the initial performance benchmarks may
not be aware of such a feature is default enabled.
So can we disable this feature by default in the config?
·         CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BITRATE=n
·         CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_LATENCY_STATS=n
Only those folks interested in latency/jitter measurements can recompile
with those configs enabled.
Thanks.
