The printfs incredible slow down the IPCs so I'm not sure this tells us
something. Are you sure that your IPC loops run at the highest prio (so
that nothing else can run) and they are static, i.e. no memory
allocation, no creation/destruction of anything, no other syscall?
The request you see in there, which request is it? There's a function
attached to each request, is it IPC related?
