If the system is seeing ping packets at all means that device is generating interrupts and that they are being processed. If you are looking at performance then sharing interrupts is probably not a good idea. Since you are on a laptop it may not be easy to separate the networking device onto its own interrupt. The interrupt is shared with a lot of other devices and not just ahci.
