sorry, i disabled SMP kernel to see if it was a SMP kernel issue.
Which it doesn't seem like it was as it acts the same UNI or SMP kernel.

Ilya Varlashkin <ilya@samara.net>
22.0%Sys   8.3%Intr 13.6%User  0.0%Nice 56.1%Idl <-
That is at a high point.

i'll also see if i can dig up a fxp nic and link0 it.

on the doesn't matter how large buffers comment.
