Hi Tommy totally understand why you put that there and I for one appreciate it! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to fall into the trap seen as I already followed your very helpful guide… so to round this off along with adding ‘ethtool -C eno1 rx-usecs 0’ which I have now done I should also do as JT says and disable RX IRQ coalescing? Thanks again for taking the time to help.

First check how it does now, then decide if you need to add that.

Sorry one more thing. When I entered ethtool -C eno1 rx-usecs 0 into command line it just went to another command line without any additional info - is there a command to check that this has actually achieved what was intended?

No info usually means all is OK.
check with
ethtool -c eno1

You can also just re-enter (up arrow)

ethtool -C eno1 rx-usecs 0

and ethtool will complain that it's already set...

Hi all, so I have tried the mesa with the added command line of ethtool -C eno1 rx-usecs 0. The ping reports an avg of 0.128ms vs 0.305ms so good improvement. When I run halscope now things look better however not as good as that which pcw generated. I have 2 questions. I seem to have to run the ethtool command everytime the pc is restarted - is there a way to make the change permanent?
Second question - to disable Irq coalesce I plan to follow the guide and edit the etc network interface file - should I be following it exactly? (Seen as I have already set up using the ‘network manager way’). Sorry about the questions but Linux is completely foreign to me.
Thankyou!
