This should not be the case.  The only thing I can think of is that
the difference in shared vs. unshared is really abysmal for shared
bacuase of the "did you generate this interrupt?" that gets asked in
the shared case.  I *thought* it was asked in all cases, shared or
unshared, so the difference you are seeing really surprises me.

You might want to volunteer to test code for Stefan, since you can
apparently repeat the problem reliably.  8-(.
