When I want a little more power to gpu tasks, I'll configure it to cpu = 1.98 or however many cores I am not needing for cpu tasks. At least that's my experience with my main computer. My computer with a damaged nvidia 9500gt there doesn't seem to be any advantage to push past cpu = 0.98 ever. I could configure all the cpu threads to work with the gpu and not see any change at all.
