Great!

For those who need a little more hand-holding getting KTR running, here's
a URL to try:

    http://www.watson.org/~robert/freebsd/netperf/ktr/

It's been my hope people would start producing more post-processing tools
-- KTR can collect some really great data that's just sitting there
waiting to be mined.  I'd be interested in seeing post-processing tools
for locking as well.  This looks like a great tool that will be really
helpful in understanding behavior and performance.

Thanks!
