To find out a little more of what this feature does, have a read here:

You could probably monitor the performance using the standard tools, for
example, iostat.

What you are doing when you set these commands is effectivly limiting
the total number of io requests to a particular device. This is
"recommended" with arrays because they share out multiple "luns" over a
single port and thus the number of io requests from the hosts may
overwhelm the FEP.
