Adds a delay (measured in microseconds) when reenqueueing work on the gpu(s). Weaker PSUs driving many gpus can sometimes not handle the "slew rate" when multiple gpus happen to reenqueue work at exactly the same time. Setting this to e.g. 32 will smoothen out the transition from no load to 100% load enough to lower the slew rate on such rigs. The typical indication of this issue is hard hangs where the rig becomes unresponsive requiring a power cycle to reboot, but it can also - be regular gpu crashes. Valid values are 1-128.
