The busy_factor, which increases load balance interval when a cpu is busy, is set to 32 by default. This value generates some huge LB interval on large system like the THX2 made of 2 node x 28 cores x 4 threads. For such system, the interval increases from 112ms to 3584ms at MC level. And from 228ms to 7168ms at NUMA level. Even on smaller system, a lower busy factor has shown improvement on the fair distribution of the running time so let reduce it for all.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
