commit d03916e55851a243594ebf6f0c20c8f6d9092277
Author: Michael Tremer <michael.tremer(a)ipfire.org>
Date:   Thu Jan 24 12:31:27 2019 +0000

    Enable some performance tuning
    
    These parameters increase the throughput on various (large-ish)
    systems by 5-10% on the slight expense of higher power consumption.
    
    Socket buffers are increases and the system is configured to be
    less aggressive when scheduling processes from one processor to
    another one which ensures that the cache remains "hot" for longer.
    
    On a slower system (apu1d) no performance improvement or loss
    could have been measured.
