I'm not smart enough to verify the accuracy of this claim, nor exactly what the implications are, but it seems like it might improve performance if fixed.

    Title bullshit, we have multicore machine for years, I can guarantee you this had about no impact else people running Xeon or Threadripper would have saw it at first try 15 years ago.

    This looks like to have an impact on the scheduler but not on how many cores are used.

      I agree. Some of the Linux servers I used to run at work in the early 00's were 12 to 16 core monsters (for the time) and the kernel didn't even blink.
