That's a pretty high HZ, here's what i have:
kern.clockrate: { hz = 2500, tick = 400, tickadj = 1, profhz = 1024, stathz
= 128 }
I have the same box spec as you, only with em (bge doesn't
support polling, but it has its own interrupt coalescer that works...
you can tune that in the if_bge.h I think, there's some comments).
I'm doing ~800Kpps with polling. My polling params are below.
