Thanks for the testing. Currently we have enhanced this patch
according to Peter's suggestion, to make the number of idle cpu
search more gradual. And we have launched some benchmarks to
evaluate the effect. Once it is done, we will send the v2 patch
out and it would be appreciated that you can also help give a glance
at it.

Thanks,
Chenyu
