Interrupts come with heavy disk activity or network activity, typically.
You can see if either is occuring by running "systat" in its "vmstat"
mode. It'll show you something like:

Interrupts
   251 total
       ata0 irq14
    23 xl0 irq15
       fdc0 irq6
       psm0 irq12
   100 clk irq0
   128 rtc irq8

on the far right.
