This returns control to the caller faster and under high receive load,
may result in fewer dropped RX frames.
+.It Va tx_defer_mfree
+Controls the threshold in packets before iflib will free the memory
+(mbufs) for the packets that it has transmitted.
+When this is nonzero, mbufs will be freed outside the transmit lock.
+Setting this can reduce lock contention and CPU use when using simple_tx.
+Note that this applies only when simple_tx is enabled.

+Controls the threshold in packets before iflib will ask the driver
+how many transmitted packets can be reclaimed.
+Determining how many many packets can be reclaimed can be expensive

.It Va rx_budget
Sets the maximum number of frames to be received at a time.
Zero (the default) indicates the default (currently 16) should be used.
