It could be that it requires a fairly large system. On large systems
under load a lot of things take much longer, so what's a tiny window on Mel's
system may suddenly be very large, and with much more threads 
they have a higher chance of bad interactions anyways.

We only see it on 4S+ today. But systems are always getting larger,
so what's a large system today, will be a normal medium scale system
tomorrow.

BTW we also collected PT traces for the long hang cases, but it was
hard to find a consistent pattern in them.
