Nothing has helped. :(

I need to unplug and plug in again patch cords each time when my CPUs 
with emX go 100% in order to keep my server alive with a descent pings.

I mentioned that "100%: emX taskq" occurs only on that interfaces where 
GRE packets are being processed.

External interface to Internet feels great. Pings are <0ms and load is
9.57%  with 14kpps (input/output).

Maybe interesting:
According to kgmon:
   %   cumulative   self              self     total
  time   seconds   seconds    calls  ms/call  ms/call  name
  39.9      93.10    93.10  1643247     0.06     0.07  rip_input [10]

Is it em related or mpd related or something else?

Back to releng_6? Not sure though. :(
