That was my guess also. We have seen serious performance degradation through dual/quad cards that do IRQ sharing. When your CPU hit's a 100% check top and see if Soft IRQ is maxed out, that's a prime indicator. Also if you are running QOS ie: FloodGate the multi-cpu support is not available and everything will be pushed through a single core/cpu.
