Why does it not work with PCI? Digium cards are doing 1000 interrupts
a second. That's basically the same as no interrupts at all,
load-wise. (It's also pointless; it would be better to pick a
different timer and turn interrupts off entirely. Admittedly Linux
hasn't been ready for that kind of thing until recently.)
