If you see latency problems over native interface (verbs), then you apparently will face the same problem with any other application over verbs, including ipoib. So using ipoib instead of verbs definitely not a work around for you. I would suggest you to run IB network debug tools , like ibdiagnet , in order to analyze your network/latency problems.
