Just FYI, this will take a while to test, because this latency seems
quite rare.  I haven't seen it again since my original report.
Hopefully I can reproduce it with enough dbench processes.

This seems to agree with your earlier observation that we seem to have
been quite unlucky.

Anyway, if I understand the thread it seems like this could increase
performance as well as help latency.
