    Our delayed ack implementation used to be slightly broken, but this was
    fixed around 4.5 or so, and is no longer an issue. Everything should be
    good now, so it should be best to leave delayed acks on.

    There may be some specific situation in which disabling delayed acks
    helps, but I would wager that most people offering this advice are just
    parroting something they heard.
