I thought they were both default, but it seems there was a forgotten
change on sanlab:

SAN2:~# sed -e '/^#/d;/^$/d' </kernel/drv/ixgbe.conf
SAN2:~#

SAN-LAB:~# sed -e '/^#/d;/^$/d' </kernel/drv/ixgbe.conf
intr_throttling = 8;
SAN-LAB:~#

Hmm.  Well commenting that out doesn't make a difference (ran
update-archive and did a full cold reboot - still getting a max of
530Mbit/s with a pretty much identical flamegraph as before)

I've double checked the dladm show-linkprop output is identical for
both the ixgbe's and the aggregate; the only difference is
cpus-effective for the aggregate: 0-9,11-15 on SAN2 (i.e. all but one
hyperthread ??) versus 0-11 on SAN-LAB (i.e. all cpus)
