100 ms is the upper limit above which the project isn't worth building- I want to target a value closer to 3 ms.

With processing a small set of symbols I am getting a latency of sub 1 ms for just the business logic, but in the high frequency system there will be a very high volume of symbols which will need to be processed in real time concurrently.
