Without you sharing sharing the test harness, nor disclosing the
exact HW this runs, the host configuration and what runs on the
system at the same time, it is pretty hard to guess what constitute
an "expected" latency.

A much more interesting metric is the overhead of virtualization,
which you can derive by running the same test on the host.
