I suspect that something is wrong with that system. My 160-cpu system
does about 40,000 interrupts/sec and ~4300 context switches/sec when
running 160 read2_processes. I wonder if you're hitting swap or the
dirty limits or something. Are you running it with way more threads
than it has CPUs?
Also, are those will-it-scale tests the threaded or process versions?
