Thanks for this interesting report, I was not aware about this issue,
as so far I blindely trusted the kernel experts :)

It would be great to have some tool, which automatically ajdusts your
modules and IRQs to get the best performance out of the system, but it
is a non-trivial task.

For the moment I'd propose to start a page on the 64 Studio site in
order to collect information about tweaking IRQs and kernel modules.

I'm not sure, but yes I guess so, some tweaks might be harder on
laptops.

Ciao!
