In our case, around 99.99% of the traffic on that switch is multicast video that is all marked the same way. In that sort of situation, QoS isn't going to help and it adds additional latency because the scheduler still has to check all the queues. (At least that's what the SME from Cisco said.) Turning off mls qos re-enables FIFO and decreases latency by getting rid of the unnecessary scheduler.
