Which version of netperf are you using?  I would suggest at least 2.3 if 
not 2.4 from top of trunk in the subversion repository:

http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2/trunk

Netperf doesn't use configure under Windows.  The README.windows file 
should describe how netperf is compiled under windows.  IIRC that will 
include the Windows-specific CPU utilization measurement code you can 
access via -c/-C just like the rest of the platforms.

The set of "all available scripts" for netperf under Windows is the 
empty set as none of them have been ported to bat files.  So, the first 
thing you would need to do is port them over to bat files.

If I've done my math correctly, that suggests you are seeing ~17K 
Transactions/second yes?  Or is that one-way latency you are reporting?
