I'm in the process up upgrading a pool of apache servers from
2.6.17.8 to 2.6.21.5, and we're seeing a pretty major change in behavior.
Under identical network load, 2.6.21 has a load average more than 3 times
higher, cpu 0 spends well over 90% of its time in interrupts (vs ~30%
under 2.6.17). When we hit 3k apache sessions, ksoftirqd eats 100% of cpu0
and our network traffic drops off rapidly. The end result is that 2.6.17
performs twice as well under this load.
