You should just put it at the lowest setting possible for lowest latency. It controls how long each PCI device can hold the PCI bus before another takes over. There's no point in setting it higher unless you are getting some kind of rare error/bsod. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_PCI#PCI_bus_latency
