Can you please tell me, blow by blow, packet by packet, where that latency
comes from, because I can't find a place to fit it in ?

Just because you get your HEADERS in a single frame doesn't mean you cannot
process it byte by byte (or MTU by MTU) if you want to ?

The only real difference is that you get to know up front how much
will be coming your way.  I have a hard time seeing how that can
hurt your latency ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
