The win might be biggest on a system were a lot of applications send
a lot of small packets. Some number will aggregate in the prio
queue and then get shoved into a driver in one go.
But... this is all conjecture until we see the code.
Also, whatever you gain in cpu usage you'll lose in latency.
And things sending tiny frames are exactly the ones that care about
latency.
I'd think one would only do this in those situations/places where a natural "out
of driver" queue develops in the first place wouldn't one?
