Mark, can you quantify the impact of not running with IRQ balancing enabled?

Whoops, look like performance was due more to enabling the --enable-thread-safe flag.

IRQ balancing on : 7086.75

IRQ balancing off: 7057.90

The interrupt charts look completely different. There's too much stuff on the chart to determine what interrupts are from what though. :( It needs to be redone per processor (as opposed to per interrupt per processor) to be more useful in determining if one processor is overloaded due to interrupts.

But the sum of all the interrupts handled are close between tests so it seems clear no single processor was overloaded:
