In my device I get many interrupts from a high speed USB device in a very short period of time. The system spends a lot of time reprogramming the hardware timer which is in a slower timing domain as compared to the CPU. This results in the CPU spending a huge amount of time waiting for the timer posting to be done. All of this reprogramming is useless as the wake up time has not changed. As measured using ETM trace this drops my reprogramming penalty from almost 60% CPU load down to 15% during high interrupt rate. I can send traces to show this. Suppress setting of duplicate timer event when timer already stopped. Timer programming can be very costly and can result in long cpu stall/wait times.
