"at the cost of a small latency"
How much additional latency is added with this option enabled?
5ms? 10ms?
-> Use Interrupt Mitigation
x CONFIG_TULIP_NAPI_HW_MITIGATION:

reduces RX interrupts but itself. Although this reduces RX interrupts even at
low levels traffic at the cost of a small latency.
x
x If in doubt, say Y.
