Reducing NR_CPUS from 32 to 2 reduces the kernel footprint by
approximately 240 kilobytes.

+CONFIG_NR_CPUS
+  This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this
+  kernel will support.  The maximum supported value is 32 and the
+  mimimum value which makes sense is 2.

+  This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds

   real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
