There must be something wrong there.  No networking protocol should use 
anywhere near that amount of cpu.  For example my firewall, a 486 & 16 MB, 
running Linux, even when passing multiple ftp transfers, totalling about 
1.5 Mb/s, never goes below 94% idle, and that's with having to support 2 
ISA nics.

If your numbers are correct, the computer would all but freeze when sending 
IP data.
