strange response time question

[Yuxin Ren]

Hi,

Sorry, it's my typo.
The worse case is 200us.
In my test, before the client sends IPC, I record the time using rdtsc.
When the server receives this IPC, I also do rdtsc.
The difference between this is the response time. I run this many
iterations and the maximum value is the worse case result.
I filter out the timer interrupt, but do not flush the cache and tlb.

Thank you very much,
Yuixn
