If my version of the driver is not stale, the timer will not be rescheduled when work_done >= work_limit. I.e. the optimization tends to vanish when the load goes up. Before this point is reached, the long path of mod_timer() can be taken up to HZ per second. I have no idea which balance works best. -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
