Does a scheduler trace show anything about why that drop happens? Do 
something like this to trace the scheduler:

assuming debugfs is mounted under /debug and CONFIG_SCHED_TRACER=y:

  echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_cpumask
  echo sched_switch > /debug/tracing/available_tracers
  cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > trace.txt

( regarding tracing_cpumask: trace only 1 CPU to make sure volanomark is 
  not disturbed too much by many-CPUs tracing. )
