|  I've been going over this and wonder if you ever got to the bottom of
|  it by instrumenting it or similar as it doesn't make sense to me....
|  We add t_ipi to t_nom after each packet so even coarse grained
|  scheduling shouldn't do this.
The graphs on that web page are actually the result of instrumenting the kernel.
There are further instrumentation tests, the results of which are on 
http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/docs/impact_of_tx_queue_lenghts/

The problem is not in adding t_ipi, but rather in schedule_timeout which works
at HZ granularity.
