Strange effect when running a manual checkpoint in TEMPDB (don't ask me why I did this).
It took 5min to complete and finally failed generating error: Time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 3 for page (1:203), database ID 2.
After inspecting waittime, it appeared it was waiting for a PAGELATCH_UP on page 2:1:203.
FYI: this is a SQL2008R2 server that has databases with read_committed_snapshot and allow_snapshot_isolation ON
It turn out that this only occurs when there are records in the version store. If version store is empty, checkpoint runs subsecond
