This will handle much more traffic if you upgrade to 4.2.

I thought the performance improvement came from 4.1 with the removal of per packet interrupts.

The closest relevant information from plus42.html:
* Enable interrupt holdoff on DP83816 sis(4) chips. Significantly improves performance of such devices under load.

and from my dmesg:
sis0 at pci0 dev 18 function 0 "NS DP83815 10/100" rev 0x00, DP83815D: irq 10, address 00:00:24:c0:31:c8

So, I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
