Why? I think, for performance, this is worse then rendering chunks, 
because the OS also needs CPU time for assigning tasks to each CPU.
And the more often the different threads/tasks change/interact, the more 
time it needs. So, for maximum performance it should IMHO be best to 
split the rendering in exactly as many different tasks as there are CPUs 
available, and then let each of them do their work completely on their 
own.
