Which virtual machine environment are you running on? How many cores and how much RAM per VM have you allocated? What is the other load on the host machine? What kind of disk subsystem are you using?
Latency is introduced at every point that software interacts with external interfaces via operating system primitives, shared resources (disk, processor and RAM) and other places such as buses/cards etc without enough bandwidth for the load you are giving them.
