Actually I had never seen that before. :)  I added this setting
immediately and it definitely cut the CPU usage down, but the load
average went way up.  No doubt that's because a lot of processes that
don't live long enough for load average accounting for no longer
exist.

I'm a lot more interested in CPU usage than load average, so it's a
big win for me. :)

Thanks!
