No, what would be great. Unfortunately I'm pretty that's not what's 
happening. With the same patch I can run 35 (but not 40) voices in ams 
on dual core and 45 (but not 50) with one core disabled:

So performance is (or seems to me, not knowing much about the inner 
working of neither a dualcore cpu or linux multicore implementation to 
be) slightly better with one core.
