Here is the problem I am trying to solve:

The benchmark(s) have a high degree of variance when run multiple
times.

We believe it is because of the scheduler not being aware of the scaled
down capacity of the CPUs because of IRQ/RT activity.

This patch helps in solving the above problem. Do you have any thoughts
on solving this problem in any other way?
