Since collisions are handled in NIC hardware they never affect device
performance. I would rather worry about the late collisions and
loss of carrier which address a hardware/design problem of your
network. Lost (corrupted) packets may lead to sluggisch TCP response.
In addition, broadcast RIP trafic has a very negative effect on MAX
performance.
