While Phoronix usually miss the point of these configs, these benchmarks
still show that low-jitter on the desktop, does not affect desktop
performance negatively.
Only if you are running Apache, on a server, you`d want a different
config. And then not even X, so this is not related to "desktop".
So this should weigh heavily with any sane desktop-distro maker, for his
config.
Ubuntu configgers have no valid argument about throughput anymore, for
instance.
Peace Be With You.
