I am not sure what keep cpu busy with netisr when localhost is involved. You may want to post o/p of # sysctl net.isr # netstat -Q # sysctl net.inet | grep queue A suggestion I see at https://calomel.org/freebsd_network_tuning.html is to increase localhost n/w buffers. Not sure if this'll help your case. net.local.stream.sendspace=164240 # (default 8192) net.local.stream.recvspace=164240 # (default 8192) Now I'll let someone else with more ideas/clues comment.
