You are obsessed with this multi-CPU stuff but have not given the
slightest bit of evidence that you need that complexity to meet your
performance goals.  Spend your time trying to understand your problem
better rather than throwing fancy technology at it.  Chances are you
can do what you need with a simple, single-CPU approach.
