+sampling_down_factor: this parameter controls the rate at which the

|
|
|
+kernel makes a decision on when to decrease the frequency while running
|
|
|
|
+at top speed. When set to 1 (the default) decisions to reevaluate load
|
|
|
|
+are made at the same interval regardless of current clock speed. But
|
|
|
|
+when set to greater than 1 (e.g. 100) it acts as a multiplier for the
|
|
|
|
+scheduling interval for reevaluating load when the CPU is at its top
|
|
|
|
+speed due to high load. This improves performance by reducing the overhead
|
|
|
|
+of load evaluation and helping the CPU stay at its top speed when truly
|
|
|
|
+busy, rather than shifting back and forth in speed. This tunable has no
|
|
|
|
+effect on behavior at lower speeds/lower CPU loads.
