Subject: IRQ Balance Question for Single but Multi-Core Processors

Question regarding the IRQ balance daemon and the 2.6.x kernel.

For a single-processor but dual or quad core CPU, should one be running 
the IRQ balancing daemon, will it result in increased performance?

Or is IRQ balance mainly targeted at physical multi-processor systems?

Justin.
