That's softraid and vmd is not likely causing this unless you're writing tons
of data suddenly and even then it shouldn't even register as anything crazy
high.

dunno, your system seems to be behaving weird. I don't think vmd/vmm is causing
excessive acpi interrupts or softraid overhead though. Those things are pretty
much unrelated.

The only thing I can suggest is try and see if some specific action causes the
problem and try to narrow it down.
