Agreed that once the first cluster is overutilized, the load will definitely spread to both clusters. My concern though is that for this to occur, the first cluster will likely be pushed to a high OPP. For power (and even perhaps performance) spreading the load earlier may be better. Or not, my observation is really just that we're encoding policy here which ideally would be the result of calculations in the energy model.
