I can run the histogram with the nobase option. Is the same available for the Latency-Test? I've seen posts only showing the servo thread jitter.

yes:

latency-test 1ms 1ms

Is there any impact to the results running just the servo test vs. servo and base?

If you just want the servo thread for the latency test it's

latency-test 1ms

Most terminal programs have a help that can be displayed with --help.

Yes, having a base thread often makes the Servo thread have worse latency for a couple reasons

1. The base thread time can add to the servo thread latency
2. The default 25 KHz base period may be too fast for slower hardware, using up a large number of CPU cycles and
making the servo thread latency very bad

Occasionally having a base thread (or a faster servo thread) reduces the latency because the real time bits
of code remain in the cache perhaps because of the frequent access + LRU policy
