OK the colors are CPU/core bound=2E That explains why initiating the
NIC starts on one color, then changes to a *different* color when
reporting the status -- the job moved to a *different* CPU/core=2E
Annoying! IMHO=2E I guess I'll have to have a look at getting the
white/high-intensity-white behavior back=2E

A *massive* thanks for all the insight, Andy!
