This question comes up quite often. Let me add this in addition to the 
Redmine issue pointed by Davide.

We do have such results that you can see in Redmine. John DeHart has 
done some experiments and more recently Chengyu Fan at CSU repeated his 
experiments and did some code profiling.

Chengyu can point you to the profiling results. I don't think those were 
added to Redmine yet, he should add them soon.

One caveat we always emphasize: NFD at this stage is not performance 
optimized. It is optimized to be changed :-) In other words the initial 
emphasis is on modularity, not systematic performance tuning.

I say this because there is a push out there to focus on performance. 
For the PARC people, for example, this is a crucial area.

Lixia makes it a point to strongly emphasize the different focus of the 
two projects (CCN and NDN) when it comes to performance. I think this is 
important.
