Default Tx rates cause very long ISR delays on Tx. 0xff is 510us delay, giving only ~ 2000 interrupts per seconds for Tx rings cleanup. With these settings udp tx rate was never higher than ~800Mbps on a single stream. Changing min delay to 0xF makes it way better with ~6Gbps
TCP stream performance is almost unaffected by this change, since LSO optimizations play important role. CPU load is affected insignificantly by this change.
