Interrupts - Loss of Edge triggered interrupts

Hi,

When interrupt sharing is not required, is Edge triggering is the
right choice over level triggering? I heard that the interrupts can be
**lost** in the edge triggering but in level triggering the chances
are less. But I don't understand how a interrupt can be lost in edge
triggering with no sharing.

Can anybody throw some light on this?

Cheers,
Arun
