This parameter is used to calculate the time slice of synchronous +queue. + +time_slice is computed using the below equation:- +time_slice = slice_sync + (slice_sync/5 * (4 - prio)). To increase the +time_slice of synchronous queue, increase the value of slice_sync. Default +value is 100ms. + +quantum +------- +This specifies the number of request dispatched to the device queue.
