It may not be the case now but that would be an enormous error on the part
of the authors.  Well designed load balancers run at wire speed (at least
up to 1G) and shouldn't add any more jitter than any other switch.  By the
way the 590SG only has four ports.  Uplink, Downlink, Mirror and (probably)
Manage.  It probably has less jitter than the router it's plugged into.

That's not what IP load balancers do.
