I ran this and it did help. I am now seeing the server about
60 to 70
percent idle and 30 to 45 percent interrupt. I googled a bit
and really I
am not sure if I found the right information, but the only
thing that
keeps coming up was gem0. I will need to do some more
testing and that
network card works, but it does seem to use alot more cpu
and interrupts
when using it. Just wondering what is the best way to deal
with this.

Thanks,
Al

What's the output from 'vmstat -i' when idle and when using
the network?
