Just for kicks, I ran 10000 requests of various kinds against the
Net-SNMP stack (which is not a well optimized stack compared to
the commercial vendors) and timed the results.  This was on a 233 PIII
laptop which was not idle by any means, so take the numbers with a
grain of salt.  MD5 and DES were used for auth and priv.

sysContact.0 in the Master agent:

                       GET    GETNEXT    SET
  AuthPriv            1277    1176       493
  AuthNoPriv          1462    1475       514
  SNMPv1/2c           3769    3467       675

sysContact.0 in a subagent:

                       GET    GETNEXT    SET
  AuthPriv             772     596       304
  AuthNoPriv           860     661       355
  SNMPv1/2c           1461    1018       420
