OK

You could try :

ethtool -C eth0 tx-usecs 200 tx-frames 100 tx-frames-irq 100
ethtool -C eth1 tx-usecs 200 tx-frames 100 tx-frames-irq 100

(to reduce tx completion irqs)


Before buying multiqueue devices, you also could try net-next-2.6 kernel,
because RPS (Remote Packet Steering) is in.

In your setup, this might help a bit, distribute the packets to all cpus,
with appropriate cache handling.
