+irqbalance is a Linux daemon that distributes interrupts over the
+processors and cores you have in your computer system. The design goal
+of irqbalance is to find a balance between power savings and optimal
+performance. To a large degree, the work irqbalance does is invisible
+to you; if irqbalance performs its job correctly, nobody will ever notice
it's there or want to turn it off.
+
+It is recommended to run irqbalance from the system boot-scripts. For
+example, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+if [ -x /usr/sbin/irqbalance ]; then
+ /usr/sbin/irqbalance
+fi
+
+Options that you can pass to the command are described in the man page.
+
+libcap-ng is an optional dependency.
