I'm surprised that you aren't familiar with

http://icl.cs.utk.edu/hpcc/hpcc_results.cgi

It has plenty of latency results. I think this latency measurement
could be improved, but at least it involves all the cores on a node,
unlike the 1-core-per-node number usually quoted.

p.s. I'm still waiting for confirmation of your offer to resign if
you're wrong about QLogic's message rate.
