+	  In Desktop and Mobile computing, one might prefer interactive
+	  tasks to keep responsive no matter what they run in the background.
+
+	  Enabling this kernel feature modifies the scheduler to discriminate
+	  tasks by their burst time (runtime since it last went sleeping or
+	  yielding state) and prioritize those that run less bursty.
+	  Such tasks usually include window compositor, widgets backend,
+	  terminal emulator, video playback, games and so on.
+	  With a little impact to scheduling fairness, it may improve
+	  responsiveness especially under heavy background workload.
+
+	  You can turn it off by setting the sysctl kernel.sched_bore = 0.
+
+	  If unsure, say Y here.
