OHGAWD I GOT IT!!!!!!!!

I admit, totally coincidentially but its really FIXED. Today I went to the puter scanning the 
servers by routine and wondered why the bandwidth is at 100% without any holes.

The only thing I have done is I switched off hyper-threading because the server is at only 20% CPU 
anyway so I just disabled it.

So its something with linux dealing with hyper-threading. YAY :)
