Even if there are, I'd like to know what (rough) percentage in increased
interrupt load you experience with HZ=4000 vs 1000 on that beast in your
application, or of any discernable effects on other running processes?
Besides having little (if any) positive effect on the output packet drop
rate, it runs pretty well, there's no apparent difference, no drop in
performance etc.
Current interrupt load snapshot as per systat -vmstat:
