>Description:
When heavy I/O occurs, interrupts eat almost all available CPU.
When the same operation is done on 6.1-RELEASE, the CPU use and the 
number of interrupts are very low.

It seems that it only happens with my ad0 device in my system.
I did not see many interrupts when I did the same command on da0 device.

>How-To-Repeat:

# mount /dev/ad0sX /mnt/tmp
# tar xf /path/to/ports.tar.gz -C /mnt/tmp
