Latency spike

P99 receive latency spikes every few seconds. The consumer is healthy and the queue isn't deep — yet messages sit visible for surprisingly long.

Symptom · Average message wait time is much higher than it should be; idle polls return empty.

Goal: Drive average wait time below 4 ticks after enough deliveries.
Hint: Long polling = waitTime ≥ 10.
