and ... you already did a trace for Thomas, for the softirq problem:

   http://cybertek.info/taitai/trace.txt.bz2

this trace shows really bad networking related kernel activities!

gkrellm-5977 does this at timestamp 0:

 gkrellm-5977  0..s.    0us : cond_resched_softirq (established_get_next)

2 milliseconds later it's still in established_get_next() (!):

 gkrellm-5977  0..s. 2001us : cond_resched_softirq (established_get_next)

and the whole thing takes ... 455 msecs:

 gkrellm-5977  0..s. 455443us+: cond_resched_softirq (established_get_next)

i think this suggests that you have tons of open sockets. What does 
"netstat -ts" say on your box?
