A pentium 120 slows down noticably at about 120k interrupts per
second, and drops dead (well, it only serves interrupts) starting at
140k interrupts per second. This was generated through an ISA card,
where it took a few ISA accesses to acknowledge the interrupt.

The machine is now operational with a max at 10k interrupts per
second.
