Latency traces with timestamps might be quite useful, they'd probably
also tell you why it happened. I can't reproduce it, nobody has provided
numbers so even if I wanted to work on it I couldn't do much.

Instead I have lots of real tty, ATA and other work that needs doing
which has quantified data, is reproducable and needs doing, so that will
get done.
