Is this one and 24 one thousandth of microseconds or 1024 microseconds which
equals to about one millisecond and sounds quite a lot?

With former, em would "top out" at about 35000 interrupts a second.
(times two for two interfaces) With 256 receive descriptors available this would
translate to about 9Mpps :-)
