It's not an "opinion"; it obvious to anyone who had a mild understand of what pollingis. You've never compared it to moderation, which is what you should be using, becauseyou don't understand what you're doing. If you set interrupt moderation to 2000 ints/sec, you're doing exactly the same thingas polling without the overheard. You're comparing polling to random tuning. Which is why I say that anyone who recommends polling doesn't really understand what they're doing.

Polling had value when you couldn't control the interrupt delays; but interrupt moderation allows you to pace the interrupts any way you like without the inefficiencies of polling. You're entitled to your opinion, but experimental results have tended to show yours incorrect.
