Big dispersion in requests execution time.

Hi,

I faced the following problem. Our server works under the constant load of
300-400 requests per second.
>From request execution time statistics I see that in some cases "fast"
request(that normally executes in few milliseconds) may hang for seconds.

Here is an illustration of this problem.
I execute the following GET request "http://127.0.0.1:777/fcgi/auth..."(no
ssl, no dns lookup, just http on localhost) from local client(on the same
sever).
Usually this request executes in less then 1 millisecond, but in this case
execution time is 130 milliseconds.

>From tcpdump I can conclude following:
16:18:43.095716 - client sent request to nginx
16:18:43.225903 - nginx sent request to upstream
16:18:43.226178 - upstream replied to nginx
16:18:43.226235 - nginx replied to client

So request was processed by upstream in less then 1 millisecond, but it took
about 130 microseconds to read request from client and pass it to upstream.
I observe similar behavior both for fcgi upstreams and for static requests.

Does anybody have similar problems? In which direction should I
investigate?
