Still on the power management theme, in my experience, in addition to
the CPU power states, the PCIe and NIC power management settings also
effect latency on the order of 10-100s usecs when the system is allowed
to go idle, some things that have helped:

 - setting CONFIG_PCIEASPM to performance;
 - disabling EEE (energy efficient ethernet) in your NIC;
