Excessive "intr" CPU usage caused by Dummynet

Hello Gentlemen,
What may cause dummynet to exaust CPU cycles on kernel "intr" requests?
I am facing a situation where "top -S" shows something like that:
12 root 13 -60 - 0K 104K WAIT 0 744:58 82.50% intr
And when I get into >95% intr cpu usage, packets on dummynet raise their latency a lot, slowing down everything (pipe or queue).
Queue sizes are ajusted according to pipe bandwidth, using a sort of rule where queue in bytes is equal to pipe width divided by 8 or by 10.
Thank you.
