Hi Jeff, All,
This seems(ed) quite interesting reading through the documentation (http://irqbalance.org/documentation.html). I then ran a command I saw in this writeup on irqbalance: http://kb.fusionio.com/KB/a65/irqbalance-avoid-overloading-cpu-0-with-interrupt-requests.aspx
cat /proc/interrupts
<pre>
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
>>snip other things
77: 3441350 3442277 3440052 3437999 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0
78: 2900004 2899359 2901479 2903668 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth1

It appears the interrupts for our bonded gige interfaces are already being spread across all the cores quite evenly. Perhaps some of this has been better integrated into the kernel. This is CentOS 6.
Thanks,
Jim O

Perhaps slightly off topic, but would running irqbalance spread out the interrupts associated with forwarding all those packets across the multiple processing cores available?
