shogan191: Dual Core Doldrums

I'm not sure manually balancing the load is necessary. Lets say you have two processes that each use 40% of a single cores potential. If your system has a dual core processor and it is running both processes on only one of the cores the load would be over 80% but less than 100%. For the sake of the argument lets say the other core was not helping at all. Would running both cores at 40% speed anything up? I don't think so. But I could certainly be wrong
