I am using OpenWRT trunk (r16539) on my Wl-500gP.

I noticed that I get an extremely high sirq usage in top when I am downloading something (from eth0.1 to eth0.0, all static LAN connections, Wifi disabled, no shaping):
Mem: 17052K used, 12744K free, 0K shrd, 2488K buff, 7720K cached
CPU:   0% usr   0% sys   0% nic   0% idle   0% io   6% irq  93% sirq

There are no applications which consume any CPU. Is there any way to fix this? This makes the box pretty unusable while a large download is running.


Thanks,
