Name
lpj — Set the loops per jiffy.
Synopsis
lpg=
n
Specify the loops per jiffy that should be used by the kernel,
and thus have the kernel avoid the time-consuming boot-time
autodetection of this value. If n is
0, the value will be autodetected
as usual.
Warning
On SMP systems, this value will be set on all CPUs, which might cause problems if the different CPUs need different settings. An incorrect value will cause incorrect delays in the kernel, which can lead to unpredictable I/O errors and other breakage. Although unlikely, in the extreme case this might damage your hardware.
