Well, this is all very interesting. Using some of these answers as a
springboard and then doing searches it seems that you can actually assign a
thread to a specific core.
If I've understood that correctly you can also ensure that they are also on the
same socket, which apparently improves memory access.

Not sure what I can do with the information. I shall have to do some more
digging... Anyone got a spare JCB :)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
