Yes sounds famliar XEON with e1000... So why not for 2.6?
Below a very quick test from our 1.6 GHz Opteron. Latest GIT tree w. UP.

I think we saw this before. I proposed disabling deferred deletions
as with the patch I sent for UP.

BSD uses fixed polling from what I understand so it should be pretty close
NAPI. With Radix for FIB they need route even more than Linux. But code
path might be more efficient have less hooks. Also I dunno about SMP/NUMA
for BSD we pay some price for it but hopefully we get something return.
Cheers.
