plain crazy

it is.

each thread executing on a core has state (in the CPU registers, in the stack, etc), instructions from one thread have to remain on the same core to work with that state; switching a thread to another core is a rather expensive kernel operation, one would typically like to avoid (that is what "thread affinity" is about).

Furthermore cores have caches to vastly improve performance; and these caches most often are local to the core, so having the data in one core's cache isn't going to help the thread when executing on a different core.

And finally, CPU performance isn't the only bottleneck, there are other limitations, such as memory bandwidth, and disk and network performance. Therefore, adding a few threads to an app may be good, adding a large number generally is counterproductive.

In all a very bad idea.

Fed up by FireFox memory leaks I switched to Opera and now CP doesn't perform its paste magic, so links will not be offered. Sorry.
