Yes. You don't want to use polling unless you set kern.hz to 10000 or 
something in that range. If you have a NIC with interrupt moderation, polling 
should almost never be necessary. Note that polling can still be useful for 
routers, because it allows you to have a much more responsive system even 
when handling heavy network traffic.
