Hi,

We use a 8250 and 8270 of which the performance is highly limited by the 
bandwidth of the memory to the very small internal cache.
I once modified a driver into a "polling" method polling the device 
every millisecond. The amount of messages processed trippled this way! 
On full speed the console could even be used for "normal" operation (in 
contrairy to the interrupt driver driver).
The penalties are obvious: When the bandwith used is low the delay for 
polled messages is higher and the CPU overhead is higher.

Succes,
   Theo.
