Updated to theKraken v.7-pre15
The Kraken is used to increase PPD by reducing TPF by forcing DLB (Dynamic Load Balancing) to come on.
The Kraken "creates synthetic load on every other CPU; said load 'comes and goes' (with certain duty cycle) until DLB is engaged or until deadline is reached (5 minutes by default). 100% success rates have been observed." -tear
