How do I disable irqbalance?

The title says it all really. I don't want to just kill something that seems so close to the bare metal, and sudo service irqbalance stop says stop: Unknown instance: -- what am I missing? Should I be disabling it somewhere and rebooting?


And 30 seconds later I found my answer - set ENABLED=0 in /etc/default/irqbalance

Sorry, nothing to see here, move along.
