That was my observation when I did some tests years ago with a single core Atom.

With a dual core CPU, the interrupts can be simultaneously handled by
both cores. In the attached plot, the parallel port timestamps are
ahead by around 3 us, probably due to the RS232 line driver/receiver.

When only one core is enabled, the serial port is handled first
followed by the parallel port which causes a delay of around 10 us.
The delay disappears when the serial port source is disconnected.
