Hi Tom,
I think this latency problem is also there in the baseline kernel, but...

That's my fault. First of all, I had a few extra, supposedly minor debug
settings in the .config, which I'm removing now--I'm doing a proper run
with the original .config file from November, below. Second, I'm not
sure I controlled the run carefully enough.

Doing that now, I see:
-- No significant perf difference between before and after, but
-- Still high clat in the 99.99th
