It's practically *made* for 2 and 4 cores. Single core enhancements |
| 20 |
were added later. |

Volker's recommendations is based on his own tests with the patches. |

I'm on a dual core Intel E6600 and the patches help a big deal to keep |

Expect people telling you how this is crap, or how the default Linux |

scheduler is crap, etc, without them really having a clue what they're |

talking about. (I am *not* referring to Volker here, mind you.) |
