What is the BCP (Best Current Practice) for reserving one complete core to run the GPU?

Is it to set the number of CPU's to "n-1" (no longer in the GUI)?

Is it to set the "use at most <>% of the processors" to (n-1)/n (75% on a quad to reserve one)?

Is it to set the "use at most <>% of the CPU time" to (n-1)/n?

Or is there a better technique?

In BoincMgr/Advanced/Preferences I set On Multiprocessor systems, use At Most % of the processors to 75% for my quad.
It works well for me
