lcov is a code coverage tool, I'm not sure why you're suggesting it
for profiling.

Those numbers are not/no longer relevant, you should stop citing them.
First of all, the benchmark uses UDP, not Ethernet faces. Second,
they're over 7 years old. Finally, NFD is CPU bound, so the results
are highly dependent on your hardware.
