Negative ramifications of setting CPU_COUNT lower?

Good day,

We recently moved 55 databases from a Sun F15K to a Sun T5440. You can
imagine what happened next. =)
Reading Glenn Fawcett's
blog<http://blogs.sun.com/glennf/entry/virtual_cpus_effect_on_oracle>,
we indeed see that CPU_COUNT = 256. I have filed an SR with Oracle, but as I
wait I am curious if those of you in the know could tell me what are the
negative ramifications of resetting CPU_COUNT. If we go forward with this
action, I want to do so in an informed manner, and not simply shooting in
the dark.

Thanks.
