In a bit more advanced version it checks for error value,
but it never happend.
It can also have more fine grained measurment,
but IMHO the picture is clear for small systems.

Actually sometimes it drops to 480 usecs.

connector.c used in experiments is attached.

If fork connector analysis will show that global fork lock is a big
bottleneck,
than seq counter can be replaced with per-cpu counter, but then inner
header should
include cpu id to properly distinguish messages.
But it is totaly fork's connector area, so I will not break things.
