Yeah, I also remember that good old ISA bus days where you could just assign your interrupts to the card slots in the bios - but these days are long gone and to be true, it wasn't all that bright these days. I didn't want to prove your point invalid but just point out, that this might not just be caused by intels faulty drivers. I also think that the reason has to have its origin on a deeper layer but what I also see, is that this problems didn't occur on older kernels - or at least they were not that noticable - despite also having compiz running and so on. And at least I can say, that these problems don't occur on me when I'm on windows even not when playing hw intense games. So probably it is not in the hardware itself but has something to do with how the interrupts are handled and the problem lies probably somewhere in the schedulling area of the kernel. DPCs are a windows mechanism in the schedulling area but I think the Linux kernel has something quite similar.
