I tried it on my Dual Pentium II/350, 100 MHz FSB:

* an empty IPI returns after ~ 1630 cpu ticks.
* a tlb flush IPI needs ~ 2130 cpu ticks.

The computer was idle, and obviously I only measure the cost as seen
from the primary cpu, I don't know how long the second cpu needs until
it returns from the interrupt.
