And it's all about tail latency for processes. A big latency spike in latency and your desktop seems to hang, the audio shutters or you see framerate drop (or even freezes) in games. How do you go after these? You optimize for fairness (which guarantees your workload a fair fraction of the resources) and frequent scheduling (higher frequency / smaller slices). The downside is that you will trade in maximum throughput. Looking at the settings I can see that this is what they adjust, but they should clarify what they regard as crucial for such a setup.
