+CONFIG_PREEMPT
+  This option reduces the latency of the kernel when reacting to
+  real-time or interactive events by allowing a low priority process to
+  be preempted even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call.
+  This allows applications to run more reliably even when the system is
+  under load.
