Is there anything else we can do to minimize the latency of network
packet processing and avoid having to crank the rx ring size up so high?
Why is it such a big deal to crank up the rx queue length? Seems like
a perfectly normal way to handle bursts like this...
It means that the latency for handling those packets is higher than it
could be. Draining 4096 packets from the queue will take a while.
Ideally we'd like to bring the latency down as much as possible, and
then bump up the rx queue length to handle the rest.
