| 18 | The 'default' property references the environment variable, |

| 251 | XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific |
| 252 | BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable |
| 253 | code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in |

| 255 | filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ |
| 256 | will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA. |
| 257 | |
| 258 | The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression |
| 259 | speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip |
| 260 | and LZO. Compression is slow. |

| 531 | kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting |
| 532 | information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about |
| 533 | that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The |
| 534 | information includes things such as creation time, owning user, |
| 535 | command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete |

| 810 | The clamp effective value of a bucket is reset to its nominal value |
| 811 | (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in |
| 812 | that bucket. |
| 813 | |
| 814 | An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the |
| 815 | example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the |
| 816 | CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems, |
| 817 | it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of |
| 818 | clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking |
| 819 | precision. |
| 820 | |
| 821 | If in doubt, use the default value. |
