NO but be aware of what your doing as to not starve out Kernel Threads.
Whats the kernel? It want hurt to give them priority either. Gbit and
higher nics I would give them there own cpu. It may take quit a while
to come up with the optimal configuration though.
Example:
cpu0 app priority 60 - 99 no ionice is app dependent
cpu1 app
cpu2 eth0
cpu3 eth1
cpu4 fusionio
cpu5 fusionio
cpu6 kthreads
cpu7 kthreads, misc
