*rx-usecs=0 is usually not useful in a production environment.
I would think that latency-sensitive folks would be using rx-usecs=0 in
production - at least if the NIC in use didn't have low enough latency
with its default interrupt coalescing/avoidance heuristics.
It will only work well if you have no bulk traffic on the same port as the low
latency traffic at all.
Have you done any tests for bulk throughput with busy-poll? Yes, it will eat a
core,
but that might be worth it in some cases if there was significant throughput
increase...
Thanks,
