Interrupt Moderation

the CPU during packet transmission and packet reception. When this
feature is enabled, interrupts are handled as a group so that the CPU
utilization decreases; however, the latency may increase.
To enable or disable the Interrupt Moderation feature, do the following:
1. Access the Advanced Properties.
See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 43.
2. Select Interrupt Moderation in the Property box.
The Interrupt Moderation page is displayed as shown in Figure 23.
