I test network performance and found some strange result -- on the same hardware Linux more then 10x used CPU resources for interrupt processing.
FreeBSD system utilise 70% CPU (32% idle, 59% interrupt, 9% sys) and network card generate 14K-18K interrupt per second. Linux system utilise 20% CPU (80% idle, 13% system, 3% hiq, 4% siq) and network card generate 56K interrupt per second. I used 'netperf -H host -t UDP_STREAM -l 60 -C -c -- -m 8972 -s 128K -S 128K' for generate network traffic.
