It will double the latency from 100ms to 200ms. If you compensate that
by lowering default-fragment-size-msec, does it still work better?

Anyway, these options only matter when not using the timer-based
scheduling. Why are all your machines (or at least three of them)
running with the old interrupt-based scheduling mode?
