I am sure this is not the case because the new raid was simply recreated =

manually using 3ware bios and
then freebsd installed and then old data copied from backup.


BTW, here are the interrupts:
interrupt                          total       rate
irq14: ata0                           47          0
irq15: ata1                      4818547          3
irq28: em0                     137807398        105
irq72: twe0                     66970618         51
cpu0: timer                   2606991398       2000
cpu1: timer                   2596549865       1992
cpu2: timer                   2606991199       2000
cpu3: timer                   2596549863       1992
Total                        10616678935       8145

And here is vmstat -i output from another box running 7.1

interrupt                          total       rate
irq1: atkbd0                        1478          0
irq6: fdc0                             1          0
irq14: ata0                           69          0
irq17: pcm0 twe0                37631996         27
irq21: fxp0                     30360322         21
irq22: fxp1                        86882          0
irq23: rl0                      31359763         22
cpu0: timer                    556023401        399
cpu1: timer                    557037363        399
Total                         1212501275        870


So, this 6.4 gets 9 times more interrupts (mostly timer).
Is is okay?
