yes, finally... Using a Ryzen 1700, Asrock AB350 Pro4 and Radeon RX460 and got that
awful micro stuttering all the time; not only under FreeBSD 13.0-ALPHA3 now, but also
under FreeBSD 12-STABLE in the past.

Occurences were during listening to music using MPV (one-second-*krk*-loops); watching
YouTube videos (video hangs for a second but audio continues) and often simply during
mouse movements where even MouseKeyPress- and MouseKeyRelease-events just didn't reach
the system at all.

Setting

	kern.sched.steal_thresh=0

eliminates these micro stutterings in the whole system.


I also would really, really like to know the reason why this parameter has such an
impact...



Many thanks for the hint and BR,
Nils
