Hi,

I'd suggest starting to dig for datasheets or alternative open source
drivers (eg Linux) that exposes what the NIC can do with interrupts
(eg interrupt coalescing.)

I'd also suggest using hwpmc and doing a spot of profiling to find out
where your CPU is being spent.

Anything else is conjecture. :)
