    • Not really. It should be unnoticeable in the end. All this change does is take advantage of your CPUs boost clocks for specific tasks which should be used in this fashion anyway. Actually, it should've been like this for years.
    • This sort of thing isn't anything new, lots of Linux distros act this way iirc.
