Could you quantify "slightly faster"? This is a dual kernel system, so
changes on either the regular kernel side and/or the co-kernel side may
have a measurable impact.

That handler is attached to the inter-processor interrupt used for
rescheduling tasks running on a remote CPU. You may want to check the
CPU affinity settings of your tasks, and the way they interact/synchronize.
