I have a 486DX50 firewall that has been serving me well for a number of
years. I recently upgraded it fro 5.4 to 6.0 and performance plumeted
rather drastically (about 40%). I would like to fix it. What I have
noticed is that even when sitting idle the system spends ~20% of its
time in interrupt. Below I have included dmesg, kernel config, and
vmstat -i information.
