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.
If there is some cunning
way to specify an actual number of cores to be used, then the person who
wrote a program which uses that deserves to get lots of flak from people
using that program!
Depends on how it's used. For example, Ardour allows you to
set the number of cores used. The default is 'all but one',
and that makes perfect sense.
