That looks to me very much like an interrupt-handling issue. What
architecture are your NICs using - PCI, PCIe etc etc? Are they on board
using a common bus?
I'd surmise that either they're on a common PCI bus which is saturated,
or they're sharing an IRQ and just can't go any faster. Can you separate
them (either in BIOS or driver)?
You might want to look back at CPU affinity which was discussed
recently, although you say this a Celery so that throws out SMP magic as
a fix!
