Systems that synchronize their + scheduling-clock interrupts for energy-efficiency reasons will + want the default because the smaller leaf-level fanout keeps + lock contention levels acceptably low. Very large systems + (hundreds or thousands of CPUs) will instead want to set this + value to the maximum value possible in order to reduce the + number of cache misses incurred during RCU's grace-period + initialization. These systems tend to run CPU-bound, and thus + are not helped by synchronized interrupts, and thus tend to + skew them, which reduces lock contention enough that large + leaf-level fanouts work well.
