I am sorry, I misread the number of zeroes here. If you are saying
that fours times the current number is enough for the error rate to
drop off on your machine, then I think we should just do that. It is
the only change I can think of that is safe enough at this stage.

Given that the irqsoff latency on a normal machine can be as high as
200 ms or so, it does not seem all that strange.

Thanks,
Henrik
