That's about it, hardware-wise, then.

ipmon certainly seems to be using a lot of time, but, for all I know, that
may be normal.

What's on the "other" side of this box?  Elsewhere you mention using 3 of
the 4 QFE interfaces, 2 at 10base and 1 at 100base.  I assume one 10base
connection is to the Internet, and one of the others is to your LAN, but
what about the third?

If Sun's "one port, one processor" rule really means anything (and I suppose
it's more important at 100base than at 10), you might consider a reconfig
that reduces the number of QFE ports in use.  I guess....
