Note that NAPI isn't just adaptive polling algorithm, but also splitting interrupt work into to parts (hardware interrupt handler and softirq). This might be big contributor to the win from using both in the same time aswell.
I think that's the equivalent of fast and slow interrupts in bsd. we basically (with some exceptions, like serial io) do all the work in the slow interrupt handler (= interrupt thread). cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
