Interesting but I would recommend to most people not to use it
as unless you know exactly what your doing it will cause issues
and infact for game servers I would not recommend it even if
you did as they do not profile in anyway like the tests done
in that article and hence I would say with 99.999% certainty
that performance would drop in a multi server environment.
Why? Well servers spike and say you had two servers bound
to each physical CPU and the two bound to the same CPU
spiked at the same time or where just both full and using
say 45%+ CPU each but the other servers where empty or
not that full. You can quite easily see that this would hamper
performance.
Conclusion don't touch let the OS decide. It may not be perfect
but its not as bad as something that's fixed.
