The uptime of the notebook is now 15 hours and the interrupt load insignificant. I get no more than 8000 interrupts per seconds. 4000 of these are CPU timers (2000 for each core) and 1000 more are from my mouse, when I move it very fast. Around 2500 from vgapci, when I run glxgears and the rest is just scraps of whatever else is running (e.g. sound). Thanks a lot. Regards
