+### Tuning
+
+从 v0.4.7 开始, rathole 默认启用 TCP_NODELAY。这能够减少延迟并使交互式应用受益，比如 RDP，Minecraft 服务器。但它会减少一些带宽。
+
+如果带宽更重要，比如网盘类应用，TCP_NODELAY 仍然可以通过配置 `nodelay = false` 关闭。
+
 ## Benchmark
 
 rathole 的延迟与 [frp](https://github.com/fatedier/frp) 相近，在高并发情况下表现更好，能提供更大的带宽，内存占用更少。

+### Tuning
+
+From v0.4.7, rathole enables TCP_NODELAY by default, which should benefit the latency and interactive applications like rdp, Minecraft servers. However, it slightly decreases the bandwidth.
+
+If the bandwidth is more important, TCP_NODELAY can be opted out with `nodelay = false`.
+
 ## Benchmark
 
 rathole has similar latency to [frp](https://github.com/fatedier/frp), but can handle a more connections, provide larger bandwidth, with less memory usage.
