Woops.  Looks like I got that part backwards!

OK.  I must've read the first post too quickly.

That said:

What is under /sys/devices/system/cpu/?  There might be useful info
there, too.

Bill> I see no change in vmstat when the latency starts.

That listing shows about an extra hundred or so INTs per second.

Periodic cat(1)s of /proc/interupts will show what is generating those
extras.
