Advantages in Scalability of Softriqs versus Tasklets

I am curious about reading through LKD, when to start using softriqs
other tasklets in terms of
when the limit of scalability of tasklets are hit. I am assuming after
reading LKD it seems to
happen when multiple cores  would be of great advantage in scaling the
bottom half of my or
our people's code. In addition in seems to also happen when timing of
interrupts needs to
be in the range of under milliseconds to process the bottom half and
this seems very important
for the networking subsystem.
Cheers and Thanks for Any Answers,
Nick
