You will probably find a "swi" process that has picked up the difference (when isr.direct is disabled, some of network protocol processing is offloaded to a swi thread). This might help spread the load across CPU but in my testing it didn't help real-world throughput. --------------enig52BA60C1C46196FA69E6A61E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJHWW5ldnAQVacBcgRAuSIAKCTKl2OQhfLfdZEko958W+sLSOk8QCfTGwe NuARD4/ZI0qppdyEmyfMtYU= =1918 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig52BA60C1C46196FA69E6A61E--
