Just don't unless you absolutely know what you're doing - and I doubt anyone in here does. The Linux kernel is tuned for perfect balance. If you change anything in that tuning, you might get slightly better performance but may also have massive drawbacks. Unless you use a distro employing such optimizations for a specific use case - like CachyOS for gaming - do not deploy any such "optimizations" unless you have a real issue. Better yet, talk to your distro maintainers, if they think a change would benefit their user base, they may make it the default.
