We do the same and boost the GPU clocks to try and minimise time spent waiting for the GPU. However, as the igfx and CPU share the same TDP, boosting the CPU frequency will result in the GPU being throttled and its frequency being reduced. Thus declaring iowait negatively impacts on GPU throughput.
