+Subject: [PATCH 109/126] init_task: faster timerslack
+
+the default tuning is a compromise between client power and server
+performance;
+for a server distro like Clear Linux, we don't need to compromise.
+(for non-server usages we have different kernel binaries)
+
+in principle this can be done as a patch to systemd as well, but we have
+a shared
+systemd between usages while we have different kernels, so the logistics
+for where the patch goes work out better here
