Ah-ha, that's a reasonable solution to this problem. I was familiar
with the old code and know that it used to set the CPUD ratio here, so
I assumed that was what Thomas's code did. ...but you're right, his
code is setting the divider here. I didn't double-check all of his
code / calculations, but he's certainly tweaking the right bits.
Nice!

Yup, I didn't think of the solution you guys came up with. Your
solution handles things nicely.
Thanks!
