Yes, 100us is low, and that's why I initially did my best to enforce
auto ack/nack. We cannot make sure this limit will not be crossed, and
when it's the case, we need to handle the consequences.

Don't you still need this lock for other concurrency reasons?

This means you lock one CPU for 100us doing nothing every time you send
a frame, that's not possible. Actually the delay was already very small
(could have been set to ~10 maybe) but this is not possible.
