4.8.5 Interrupt Coalescing
Interrupt coalescing allows the firmware on the Fusion-MPT device to
group I/Os together for the purpose of minimizing the overhead to the
host system. This feature can result in significant performance benefits
when I/Os are coming into the adapter rapidly—for example, when
performing small sequential reads from a disk.
LSI Logic has performed significant testing under multiple I/O conditions,
and has determined that the interrupt coalescence values that are
beneficial over a wide range of I/O conditions are a depth of 9, with a
