Good morning,

I've noticed 33K interrupts/sec on an em(4) gigabit interface on
a box. This many interrupts seemed a bit too high, so I thought
I should enable polling(4). After enabling it i've got 55K per
second, even higher.

I've just done "ifconfig em1 polling", and by this the number
of interrupts increased.

How does vmstat -i look like before and after?
