Pursuing reducing tail latencies for our web application is the
precise reason I created this patch set.  Those applications that
previously were responding in 20ms 95% where now taking 220ms.  Those
were correctly sized applications prior to 512ac999. After which, they
started seeing massive increases in their latencies  due to hitting
throttling with lower than quota amounts of cpu usage.

I'll see if I can rework the documentation.  Any specific
suggestions for how that can be worded would be appreciated.
