this is ... a dubiously general statement.
for good power, at least on Intel cpus, you want to spread. Parallelism is efficient.
the only thing you do not want to do, is wake cpus up for
tasks that only run extremely briefly (think "100 usec" or less).
so maybe the balance interval is slightly different, or more, you don't balance tasks that
historically ran only for brief periods
