Performance can be increased by modifying the interrupt assignments
carefully, especially in storage appliances that have to process a
large number of network and storage interrupts. By carefully assigning
interrupts the number of completions processed per interrupt can be
increased and hence performance also increases. In 2014 I was working
on a product that benefited from this approach.

Thanks,
