Ingo, Here are some more results:

Nvidia w/cyclesoak
 2.6.21-rc5-rt10           938          32%
    netperf @51
    hardirq @50
    softirq @50

Nvidia w/top
 2.6.21-rc5-rt12           938          31%
    netperf @51
    hardirq @50
    softirq @50

Hopefully I'll run some more tests in the morning

Thanks,
Dave
