I see significant difference between number of interrupts on the Intel =
and the AMD blades. When performing a test between the Intel and AMD =
blades, the Intel blade generates 20,000-35,000 interrupts, while the =
AMD blade generates under 1,000 interrupts.

There is no longer throttling, but the performance does not improve..=20

I set it via=20

sysctl hw.intr_storm_threshold=3D0

Should this go to /boot/loader.conf instead.
