- This option causes RCU to attempt to accelerate grace periods
- in order to allow CPUs to enter dynticks-idle state more
- quickly. On the other hand, this option increases the overhead
- of the dynticks-idle checking, particularly on systems with
- large numbers of CPUs.

- Say Y if energy efficiency is critically important, particularly
- if you have relatively few CPUs.

Say N if you are unsure.
