In almost all real-world scenarios, any dropped frame affects
performance almost infinitely more than the latency of any switch
between the two hosts. Don't *just* look at latency.

That being said: The Nexus 5548 is pretty low latency port-to-port,
and has much better density than the 4900M. Also a new Nexus switch is
rumoured[1] to be 'just around the corner', specifically targeted at
HFT scenarios.

You should take this up with the account team.
