every PCI device will have to wait longer before they can get access to the bus, but when they
do get access, they can conduct their transactions for a longer time. Normally, a default value
of 64 cycles is set. Some PCI devices may not agree with longer latency times so if you start
facing problems like stuttering sound or a less responsive system, reduce the latency. Higher
values will actually reduce performance as too much time may be allocated to each PCI device
to the disadvantage of other devices on the bus.
