Seeing higher latecny when doing trace mpls ipv4; is there a valid reason for that?
PE1#trace 10.10.10.128
Type escape sequence to abort.
Tracing the route to 10.10.10.128
1 10.10.129.94 [MPLS: Label 297 Exp 0] 4 msec
10.10.129.90 [MPLS: Label 297 Exp 0] 8 msec
10.10.129.94 [MPLS: Label 297 Exp 0] 8 msec

3 10.10.128.49 [MPLS: Label 34 Exp 0] 8 msec 4 msec 8 msec
4 10.10.129.5 8 msec * 4 msec
While same trace with trace mpls ipv4 option shows higher latencies:
PE1#trace mpls ipv4 10.10.10.128/32
Tracing MPLS Label Switched Path to 10.10.10.128/32, timeout is 2 seconds

Ping mpls shows normal though:
PE1#ping mpls ipv4 10.10.10.128/32

To discover Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label switched path (LSP) routes that packets actually take when traveling to their destinations, use the trace mpls command in privileged EXEC mode. High latency while using trace mpls ipv4 does not have any effect on the device.
