Could you follow up on Frederic's detailed tracing suggestions that 
would give us the source of the latency?

( Also, as per lkml etiquette, please try to keep the Cc: list 
  intact when replying to emails. I missed your first reply
  that you un-Cc:-ed. )

A quick look at the latencytop output suggests a scheduling latency. 
Could you send me the kernel .config that you are using?
