NIC's at least, since they're interrupt happy.
Wow. That was certainly it. Ran top and showed 0% idle CPU with over
70% interrupt dedicated to interrupts and ~25% system. I knew the RL
NICs were poor, just never knew how poor they really were until I
started playing around with BSD - I guess my Linux machines have always
been powerful enough to overcome the danged things. Funny this - the
93Mb was between a desktop Athlon XP-1800 and a laptop AMD-64 3000+,
both with RTL-8139 NICs.
I guess I'll stop buying the crappy RTL cards now, eh?
Hey, anyone interested in a couple of top-quality NICs? I'll sell 'em
to you cheap!
