I see this uses netlink which uses wait queues. Could using wait queues be a

Don't think it was ever implemented though. In the end we just
eat the slowdown in that particular load.
The tg3 driver uses the chip interrupt mitigation to help
deal with the SGI NUMA issues resulting from NAPI.

So, given 2.6.16 on tg3 hardware, would your advice be to

Yes.
In fact I've been meaning to discuss with Michael Chan
enabling it in the driver by default.
