Okay, I see that...

> vmstat -i
interrupt      total      rate
clk0 irq2    343036441       99
rtc0 irq8    437761187      127
pci irq12    236113777       68
pci irq11    1220665135      355
pci irq10      702352        0
sc0 irq1         3240        0
Total        -2056685164     -599

However, I still get frequent "time resets" under xntpd.

May 11 06:59:25 mnemom xntpd[27493]: time reset (step) 0.330688 s
May 11 07:40:43 mnemom xntpd[27493]: time reset (step) 0.263977 s
May 11 07:45:17 mnemom xntpd[27493]: time reset (step) 0.260552 s
May 11 08:45:27 mnemom xntpd[27493]: time reset (step) 0.199847 s

Ideas?  What should I be checking?

I've killed the drift file, the box is connected via 100mbps to a
Stratum 2 server, with two off-site S2 servers specified as well.

The problem seems to get worse sometimes, and then sometimes not as
bad.

It's not a real big deal to me, but it'd be nice if it worked.
