your idle seems to be jumping up and down, though this is not correlated to 
interrupt processing.

the wcfxs0 driver is sharing interrupts with your bge NIC, and this could 
be the cause of what you're seeing. trying to work on BIOS tweaks to put 
them on a different interrupt or just enable polling for the bge interface.

'ifconfig bge0 polling' would do it. zaptel cards however do not usually 
like sharing interrupts with other devices, so that should be the first 
thing you should be looking at.
