this is ... a dubiously general statement. for good power, at least on Intel cpus, you want to spread. Parallelism is efficient. the only thing you do not want to do, is wake cpus up for tasks that only run extremely briefly (think "100 usec" or less). so maybe the balance interval is slightly different, or more, you don't balance tasks that historically ran only for brief periods -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
