And now for the really stupid question: does enabling cpuplugd with CPU_MIN=1 
actually gain something? I have turned it on for one of my SAP dyadics and my 
idle level seems to have gone up instead of down. I now see cpu spikes at the 
cpuplugd UPDATE interval that aren't there with cpuplugd disabled. Obviously 
running cpuplugd costs something and falls into the chapter of disabling 
unneeded services. This only makes sense when the processing saved in CP 
amounts to more than the cost of running cpuplugd.
