RE: FWD: RE: excessive interrupts on network cards

[Chris Newton]

Tim sent me this... and, yes, the count is much lower...  looking around, I 
found 'mpstat', which returns processor statistics.

  From this output, I would say that procinfo has a bug in the -d and -D 
options, or in the man page.

  Thanks, for all the help guys, but this seems to be right, according to 
mpstat anyways.

  Thanks a BUNCH.

Chris
