Description-en: Daemon to balance interrupts for SMP systems
Daemon to balance interrupts across multiple CPUs, which can lead to
better performance and IO balance on SMP systems. This package is
especially useful on systems with multi-core processors, as interrupts
will typically only be serviced by the first core.
.
Note: irqbalance is not useful if you don't have more than one core
or socket.
