Ok, yes, I think so too.

10ms is a _really_ long time for a cpu not to attend to a kworker.
Which raises 2 questions:
1. What are the termios settings of the tty receiving input? Is it 'raw'
   mode or typical terminal mode (icanon, echo, etc.) or something else?

In my test code, I open the tty like
  fd = open("/dev/ttyACM0", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NONBLOCK);
I don't make any other changes to the default settings. To be honest,
I'm not sure in which mode it is operating then (I was assuming raw, but
I might be wrong?).

2. Are there RT threads that are hogging cpu time?

I can't see any, I think the only thing which occasionally goes to RT is
pulseaudio (but during at least some of the tests I wasn't even playing
audio, so that sounds very unplausible to me). I also cannot see a
correlation between failure rate and CPU load.

Best regards,
Sven
