Yes, we should make some profiling, but it is quite hard on busy production=

router. When i turn on pooling on em0 card swi1: net is using about 3% of=20
cpu. So it is quite big difference between 20% with tasq and 3% with=20
polling.
BTW: i am using
em0@pci0:3:0:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x10838086 chip=3D0x10b98086 rev=3D=
0x06=20
hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Intel Corporation'
device =3D '82572EI PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter (Copper)'
class =3D network
subclass =3D ethernet
I know it is desktop card but i thnik it should not use so much cpu. Beside=
s=20
intel card and em driver is supposed to be the best on freebsd. But from my=
=20
observation bge cards are better for now.
