We haven't seen that.  I don't know what you mean by heavy load -
memory, CPU, or network?  We can put out almost wire-speed with our
RaQ3s.

Again, strange - I just dropped the 2.2.15 pre something driver into my
2.2.14 build tree and recompiled.  This was before 2.2.15 was 'done'. 
Also, you will find on shipping RaQ3s that the new driver, which uses
memory mapped IO, will probably BREAK on without newer firmware (PCI
initialization issue).  The firmware patch is being fixed, due to a bug
found by several developers.
 
This is one reason we haven't published the newest Cobalt kernel on our
site.
