I have a method that contains a for loop, and I have the main process and child processes calling this method.

Above are logs, send is when main process sends the instruction to child process.
The first four lines are printed out from the main process, 2ms on average between every iteration
get is when a child process gets the instruction.
The first number is the process id. As you can see at this part:

The time gap between those two iterations is huge compared to the rest time gaps. Any ideas why this is happening?
When I first created the child process the first run was always slow, so I had to send some dummy data to make it run a few times before it receives the actual data. In that way, when the actual request data comes in, the time gaps between iterations become small and consistent. Maybe it is just a node problem
