I ran this and it did help. I am now seeing the server about 60 to 70
percent idle and 30 to 45 percent interrupt. I googled a bit and really I
am not sure if I found the right information, but the only thing that
keeps coming up was gem0. I will need to do some more testing and that
network card works, but it does seem to use alot more cpu and interrupts
when using it. Just wondering what is the best way to deal with this.

Thanks,
Al
