Network 'mega-pack' tweaks (Nagle, RSS/RSC, netsh stacks)

What it does

Bundles of TCP/NIC registry and netsh changes promising lower ping.

The honest verdict

Your ping is your route and your ISP, not a registry key. Single targeted changes (like Nagle, which Compy surfaces as advisory) have tiny effects in a few titles; the bundled packs mostly just break VoIP, VPNs, and smart-home apps.

How Compy treats it

Compy won't recommend it. If you're curious anyway: change one thing at a time, measure it on your own rig, and revert unless it's clearly better — that loop is exactly what Compy is built around.

The Compy Blackbook holds 174 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
