I can ask for that (and will soon, likely), but to play with my current 
setup in the meantime, can we logically say that if I have 4 cores, and 
one interrupt queue is assigned to each core, and under I load I see 
each core (via "top -P") at 100% in interrupt usage, would it be safe to 
say that more cores (with additional interrupt queues accordingly) would 
mean more interrupts overall being processed, which would mean more pps?
