I've found that that question makes the difference between using 6% & 12% ...
particularly large data transformations ... but not higher than that. And
I've had ample opportunity to test on 2 reporting servers. For one thing,
with very large reports one tends to have a lot of I/O binding, which is
handled by the kernel.
