!FIX! for Connection Issues (Lag, 90K, etc)

mileage can vary with this depending on vendor and their implementation of the feature. It's more or less like a bursting trick, and for it to work smoothly there needs to be compliant infrastructure in place. For instance, some cable or DSL subscribers may not notice much difference because of how the flow control works to cap bandwidth on the system--it already has a bursting mechanic in place of sorts. It might even worsen the condition depending on how much the modem queues between bursts if it leads to heavier fragmentation. Think of it like old RWIN tweaking and how things get flubbed when you disregarded MTU/MSS and such, or if you went too far with max connects per server settings--all the buffering needs to flow properly or you can wind up with increased retransmits.

{Edit:]
Out of curiosity I did some poking around with my Qualcomm, and apparently this setting may not be controlling the use of the feature, but toggling whether segmentation is being controlled at the NIC's engine or by the CPU. Depending on the chipset in use, some may get more mileage if they were able to get more optimized drivers for their network controller.
