Sets the number of hardware network events to handle before performing other
work. This is a hint for internal tuning, and the actual number handled might differ.
The value chosen represents a trade-off: Larger values increase batching (which
typically improves efficiency) but can also increase the working set size (which harms
cache efficiency). When EF_POLL_IN_KERNEL is set (either explicitly or
implicitly) then the default value is 192
, to increase batching
efficiency.
