Is this a high interrupt rate for nics?

bash-2.05b$ vmstat -i
interrupt                          total       rate
irq1: atkbd0                          20          0
irq5: ep0                        2937064          1

irq15: ata1                       173656          0
irq11: ed0                     298318862        165
irq10: de0                     276544892        152
irq0: clk                     1807792593       1000
Total                         2618382342       1448

Are those normal for ed0 and de0?  Compared to the ep0 nic of rate of 1 
(although the ep0 nic is not used as much as the other two nics obviously).

Thanks.

Mark
