+This setting specifies whether some message flow control shall be exercised on the
+related TCP input. If set to on, messages are handled as "light delayable", which means
+the sender is throttled a bit when the queue becomes near-full. This is done in order
+to preserve some queue space for inputs that can not throttle (like UDP), but it
+may have some undesired effect in some configurations. Still, we consider this as
+a useful setting and thus it is the default. To turn the handling off, simply
+configure that explicitely.
