The expected latency is ~600 µs.

Does ide_inb mean I'm reading from the disk?

Does your real time application lock its memory, or allow itself to be
swapped?

Now that you mention it, I do remember reading this page:
http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/HOWTO:_Build_an_RT-application

There is no swap configured on the system, and 90% of the 256 MB of RAM are free, according to /proc/meminfo, and the system is otherwise idle.

I don't think this is a major page fault. Am I wrong?
