I said 50Mbit/s in + 50Mbit/s out at peaks, 20Mbit/s in 20Mbit/s out
average.

Would this count as huge ?

 17:  186608169  186641281   IO-APIC-level  eth1

  7:47pm  up 1 day, 28 min,  5 users,  load average: 0.23, 0.82, 1.25

If I count it right, this is:

186608169/86428 int/sec per cpu, that is 2159 int/second.
