All the NIC drivers in 7 pretty much use interrupt moderation so it can
never lock the machine anyway.. This effectively kills polling and it
really no longer has any use except to be able to have a fraction of the
cpu set aside for user space but you can do that anyway with SMP

man polling
I used polling in FreeBSD 5.x and it helped a bunch. I set up a new
router with 7.0 and MSI was recommended to me. (I noticed no
difference when moving from polling -> MSI, however, on 5.4 polling
seemed to help a lot. What are people using in 7.0?
polling or MSI?
