  I believe this is the problem. I implemented the intrcnt stuff, so
that I could use vmstat -i (I'll send you my changes once I have
polished them), and here's what i found:

pbfbsd:~% vmstat -i
interrupt                          total       rate
irq1:                           12934636      44756
irq24:                                26          0
Total                           12934662      44756
pbfbsd:~% ps auxw | grep irq1
root       31  0.0  0.0     0   20  ??  WL    5:44AM   2:10.72  (irq1:
gem0)

So apparently, something's wrong with the gem driver.. 

Later,
