That seems like it would be fairly reasonable, but knowing what the overhead numbers are would help. To be clear, right now we have things set thusly for NR_CPUS: arm=8 ppc32=4 ppc64/ppc64p7=1024 s390x=64 i686=32 x86_64=128 I believe our specific discussion here is about x86_64. I don't think we're going to change i686 to anything higher than what it's set at right now. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
