You’ll have to measure to confirm, but if the core is dedicated to your vcpu then there is no reason there should be 50us jitter.

The deadline timer code as up to 50us of slop when calculating when to wake up and when timers expire.  It is somewhat poor, and is certainly an area in need of improvement.
