Hi Sebastian,

Okay then the latency I see on the other CPU must be from a PCI access done by the second CPU which stall on the same shared bus.


Anyway: Thanks for your help Sebastian! I can probably live well with these spikes in latency. I was more concerned that there is a deeper issue with my config and the response time could be unbounded.
