Ever since 2.0.5 my systems running with ISA network cards (SMC Ultra's) havent
been nearly as fast as with 2.0.5, (650k/sec peak instead of 980k/sec peak) as
well as getting messages like so on the console fairly frequently during heavy
network activity:

ed0: warning - receiver ring buffer overrun

Leading me to believe that the priority of the network (ISA?) handlers were
lowered since 2.0.5.  Am I way off base here?  If so, what tunables would one
suggest to get the performance back up to snuff..
