Giving you an update. I did the following: # ls /sys/kernel/slab/*/cpu_partial | while read f; do echo 0 > $f done Then ran our test suite for 24 hours, and had a max latency of 135 microseconds. Well within our range for such a machine. Seems this is definitely the cause of our latencies, as before, we would always trigger a unacceptable latency within 12 hours.
