Giving you an update.

I did the following:

# ls /sys/kernel/slab/*/cpu_partial | while read f; do
	echo 0 > $f
done


Then ran our test suite for 24 hours, and had a max latency of 135
microseconds. Well within our range for such a machine. Seems this is
definitely the cause of our latencies, as before, we would always
trigger a unacceptable latency within 12 hours.

Thanks for your help!
