Do you have some benchmark numbers?

Did you see this patch on the mailing list:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240415094804.8016-1-paul.barker.ct@bp.renesas.com/T/#md50cb07bbdd6daf985f3796508cf4b246b085268

This is basically a one line change, which brings big performance
gains. Did you try something as simple as that, rather than all your
hrtimer code?
