The reason that it does this is that it gives newly forked processes a fairly high priority and if they're left to run for a full 120 msecs at that high priority they can hose the system. ... Having a shorter first time slice gives the scheduler a chance to reassess the task's priority before it does much damage. ... (Linux-Kernel)
