Ok. I think we should be able to further speed that up.

so that kind of info looks pretty useful, especially when there's
hangs/failures. I'm wondering what takes 113 msecs to print 120 CPUs -
that's about 1 msec per a few chars of printk produced, seems
excessive. Do you have any idea what's going on there? Does your
system print to a serial console perhaps?
Thanks,
