What does "these days" mean in terms of hardware? The laptop is running a 1.5GHz Celeron M (the Celeron that's a kind of cut-down Mobile Pentium 4, with way too small a processor cache for the P4 architecture). Effective throughput is about the same as a 1GHz non-M Celeron. > But by all means measure the > latency in response to those interrupts, see if there is a real problem. > Perhaps one of the drivers needs to defer some processing to soft-IRQ.
