Yes, 40% CPU has been what I've seen. The problem is that it's system CPU usage rather than userspace. Due to the critical timing nature of the patches, they need to have nearly the whole machine to themselves, thus DMA PCI overhead causing things to be a 'a bit sticky' is just too much :/ > You could probably do some setpci tweaks to improve PCI throughput, but > I doubt the gain would be enough (I'd expect 10% improvement or so). I did try to twiddle with setting PCI latency timers but it had no measurable effect..
