Speedfusion ever-rising latency curve

Attaching the images again. The whole point of attaching the images is that they are a necessary part of the description of the issue I’m seeing …

The first image shows a period where there is initially no speedfusion activity, then a single smtp over speedfusion transaction is initiated (its a message send via smtp of an email with an attach, the bulk of that traffic flow will consist of data moved from the LAN to a speedfusion peer). Initially things look semi-normal, then the latency measurement shown on the speedfusion plot begins to climb into the stratosphere. It stays up there for a long while after the smtp transaction is cancelled. Eventually as shown in the second image, the latency goes back down to normal.

During the whole period, non-speedfusion traffic moved normally – ICMP ping packets during the period shown were in the range of 600-1000ms

(Note* – I can’t control the image order – the images are shown inline in the order opposite to that described)
