Ok.

Ok, i booted with noriqbalance, removed nmi_watchdog=1 and ran irqbalance 0.06.

Now after few minutes of activity :

# cat /proc/interrupts 

           CPU0       CPU1       
  0:      73897     577734    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:       3297         18    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
  2:          0          0          XT-PIC  cascade
  3:        177          0    IO-APIC-edge  serial
  8:          1          0    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
 12:          3          0    IO-APIC-edge  i8042, i8042, i8042, i8042
 15:         10          1    IO-APIC-edge  ide1

and about 30 seconds later ( mail checking )

# cat /proc/interrupts 
           CPU0       CPU1       
  0:      73897     676905    IO-APIC-edge  timer

Is this what you are looking for ? and are the values changes meaningful ?
