CPU Parking - any actual effect? safe? etc.

[Yami]

I'm curious whether this CPU parking thing is safe to be disabled if it isn't by default. Someone on a different forum asked this and since I'd never heard of it before I figured I'd ask here.

i figure its safe to disable depending on the requirements set forth by the software your running. I cant think of any reason why a software would require this though.

Sounds like they use cpu parking to disable certain cores. Disabling Parking should have the chip run as intended.
