Hi,

going from #448 (March 16th) to #501 (April 8th), I noticed a sharp
drop in performance. The problem manifests itself in the machine
frequently becoming very sluggish wrt. network performance. In numbers,
this means that the packet loss rate jumps to more than a felt 90% for
more than a minute. I didn't find anything in the logs.  The machine
ran mostly fine using #448 for about two weeks immediately before,
using the exact same configuration.

The machine is supposed to move around 10-20 megabits per second across
four interfaces, plus handle some 10-20 lightly loaded VPN tunnels, and
usually has a CPU utilization roughly between 10 and 50%, maybe 35% on
average.

For amd64, I have much better experience with #148 from March 30th,
although the much more powerful hardware may simply be hiding the
problem.

I have no good console access to this machine (it's remote), and
"playing" is not well supported, either.

Below you find the dmesg for the problematic machine, but with the "ok"
kernel.
