yes, but the area under the CPU graph is less, so the
rate of real work performed is less, so the entire
job took longer. (allbeit "smoother")
For the purpose of illustration, the case showing the huge sawtooth
was when running three processes at once. The period/duration of the
sawtooth was pretty similar, but the magnitude changes.
I agree that there is a size which provides the best balance of
smoothness and application performance. Probably the value should be
dialed down to just below the point where the sawtooth occurs.
More at 11.
