Didn't know that, good you mention it. When booting the 4801 I see they're on int 10. The lan1641 pci card has its four interfaces on int 5 and 11. I have my ntp server on the 1641 and the upstream connection on the 4801 board, so they're not sharing interrupts. Seems like I've optimised that without knowing what I was doing. :-) I had everyting on the 4801 for a while (same interrupt), but I saw little or no difference.
