Packet rate of around 215000 p/s. irq rate of around 4600 p/s. I just
realized the the reason redhat's kernel was faster is because they include
the NAPI version of the e1000 driver, which does indeed improve
performance. However, it doesn't solve the overall problem of smp not
being any faster (and in fact) slower while using twice the cpu time as
up.

What packet rate? What irq rate? Try napi driver:
